Amusing Spanish comedy with the great Paco Martínez Soria who steals the show with his Aragonese accent , and playing splendidly his usual role as a fast-talking , grumpy as well as sympathetic old man . This diverting movie deals with a recently divorced man , unhappy in his previous marriage , he attempts to encounter new opportunities and a better life , but things go awry , because he goes on loving his wife , Florinda Chico . In this family comedy is often used the ordinary formula about ¨Fish out water¨ , as the film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment and is also pretty darn funny . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly enjoyable . There are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social criticism about the Mexican social habits . Based on a play from the 1930s written by Pedro Muñoz Seca and Pedro Pérez Fernández ("Anacleto Se Divorcia"), this film creates its comic gags with an outdated anti-divorce orientation . This movie packs customary images of the social life from the Seventies with nutty situations , but it especially contains catching touches of humor , tongue-in-cheek and irony ; adding the typical Mexican and Spanish idiosyncrasy . At the same time it shows a large sightseeing , taking place a tourist tour of he populous capital, Mexico D. F. , or the touristy Acapulco , in which there is no lack of the habitual images of diving in La Quebrada .It includes an atmospheric and functional cinematography by Fernando Colín . And an evocative and catching musical score by Antón García Abril , with soundtrack typical of the sixties and early seventies , adding some Mexican songs . Only for fans of Martínez Soria that may enjoy it.
