Peronist Propaganda Hided As Comedy

[rspa-1 · 2/10 · 28 November 2005]

This B&W film exploited Isabel Sarli's already achieved popularity in order to make political propaganda to Argentinian's Peronist Party (also known as Justicialism).The coarse papers of the secondary actors,the vulgarity of the plot lines and the scarcely funny results makes this picture the lowest step in Armando Bo's films. The irony was that Bo thought that this plot politicization would reduce the action of the censorship on his filmography.On the contrary,it disgusted severely to the Presidential Candidate of Peronism in that year,Frondizi."La Señora Del Intendente" has no point of comparison with 1964's "La Mujer Del Zapatero",a truly funny comedy of Bo also starred by Isabel Sarli.
