ma-cortes24 September 2022
This is a Co-production Mexico-Spain; Balcazar Productions, Oro Films. Distributor: SC Entertainment belonging to Romantic Comedy Genre with a simple and plain synopsis. Dealing with two friends , Luis (José Campos) and Pepe (Julián Mateos) compete with each other to conquer a girl called Tere (Tere Velázquez) who works in a tailor shop. One of them works in his uncle's (Gustavo Re) store, an insatiable womanizer , and the other is a ¨Bañero¨ in charge of changing rooms on the beaches of Barcelona.

A little interesting film dealing about life of some youngsters in the Sixties , throughout the movie they cheat on women, flirt, dance while our starring Tere Velazquez plays with them in a cat and mouse game. Here stands out the early deceased actor Julian Mateos , a famed Spanish player , he acted in all kinds of genres , as Gialli : ¨Cold eyes of fear¨ , Drama : ¨La Celestina¨, ¨Novios De La Muerte¨ and player in US Western as well as Spaghetti as ¨Hellbenders¨ , ¨Four rode out¨ , ¨Catlow¨ , ¨Shalako¨, ¨Return of seven magnificent¨ and even produced ¨Camus's Los Santos Inocentes¨. And the Mexican idol Tere Velazquez who often cast as a frivolous young woman, she worked steadily on screen and theater with Alejandro Jodorowsky through the 1970s, then retired from acting for a number of years. She made a comeback and was working on the stage and on TV when stricken with cancer in 1996. She died the following year after a well-publicized and valiant battle with the disease. Teresa Velázquez first married Venezuelan actor Espartaco Santoni and then producer Carlos Vasallo.

The motion picture was regularly produced and directed by Alfonso Balcázar who managed to make a fluid but mediocre comedy . Alfonso alongside his brother Juan Jose Balcázar produced and directed a lot of Chorizo or Butifarra Western , most of them starred by Jorge Martin or Robert Woods ; such as 1972 ¨The return of Clint¨ , 1968 ¨Sartana no Perdone or Sonora¨ , 1967 ¨With Death on Your Back¨ , 1966 ¨Dinamita Jim¨ , 1965 ¨Doc, Manos de Plata¨ , 1965 ¨Viva Carrancho¨ , 1965 ¨Five Thousand Dollars on One Ace¨ and especially "Clint the Nevada's Loner" . But he also made other genres as Giallo : ¨Night of the Scorpion¨or ¨La Casa de las Muertas Vivientas¨, Erotic : ¨Julieta¨ , ¨Deseo¨, ¨Colegialas Lesbianas¨ , ¨Las Primeras Experiencias¨ and Drama : ¨La Encrucijada¨ , ¨? Donde vas triste de ti ?¨ , ¨Cena de Matrimonios¨ , ¨La Bella Lola¨ , among others . Rating : 4/ 10 .
