Trivia

This movie was made to help the director, Saenz de Heredia, recover from a terrible economic moment he was having. This way, all the stars appearing in this film except Juanjo Menendez, who appeared almost in the whole film, did their work completely for free, without earning any money.

User Reviews

A day in the life of a Spanish cabby

Some minor spoilers! This uneven comedy follows a Madrid cabby for a day of picking up fares. The riders all happen to be celebrities of sixties Spanish cinema and TV.

Along the way someone has left a baby in the back seat prompting a search for the day's passengers and some slapstick comedy chase scenes.

Great cameos from Carmen Sevilla, Lola Flores, Armando Calvo, Isabel Garces and Marisol with songs and comedy schtick interludes.

It it is enjoyable to watch these pros making the best out of the thin material and some of the comedy twists are indeed amusing. A true relic of Franco era Spanish cinema.
