"La Dama de las Camelias" is a nice comedy vaguely based on Dumas' novel. Here the story is about the shooting of a movie about the book, the search for a female star and the suffering of the director, all in the comedy genre. Ana González' performance is just brilliant, and some scenes shows us the way people made cinema in Chile in the late 40's. The humour is sometimes physical action, or dialogues but in some moments is surreal (example: the scene when José Bohr goes to a bar to get drunk with milk and his motorcycle flies). This movie wasn't regarded as a classic and his director never was well respected, but I think is a very nice comedy, and -I say it again- one of the reasons you must watch this movie is the great performance of Ana González.
