El caso de la mujer asesinadita (1955) User Reviews

Subrealistic story. Funny situations. Inexpensive production and well-realized Mexican film.

Gloria Marin and Abel Salazar play the main characters in this story about a man who tries to kill his wife.

On a stormy night, while she's (Gloria Marin) reading a novel and took by mistake the killing pill, left on purpose by his absent husband, a couple (Abel Salazar and Martha Roth) knock the door looking for a shelter... or so we think. But they claim to be the owners of the house.

The cook and the butler recognize them and admit they are their employers. A couple of characters from the novel she was reading come to life and a series of funny and confusing, yet surrealist, situations take place.

Very recommendable for those who love different movies.

Be careful what you dream of...

What I got from this movie is that Mercedes (Marín) had a psychic dream where she saw the future. She didn't know it was a dream until she started experiencing in her life everything that happened in her dream. The problem was, in her dream, she had been killed by her husband (Salazar) and his new wife (Roth)-former private secretary. Another funny thing was, in her dream she saw an Indian (Mistral), who in the real life was Frank, her husband boss. Both Mercedes and Frank feel something very strong between them, and later we find out he had another dream that same night at the same time. In his dream he got killed too, in an automobile accident. As everything is happening according to their dreams, they decide to let them come true and get together in heaven, so the night when Frank will have the accident, Mercedes ask her husband to give her ''the medicine'' knowing that his intentions to get rid of her would make him switch the medicine for poison. They reunite in the way to heaven...
