This is a sad and exciting movie made in maudlin Feuilleton or Folletín style and formally shot in Neorrealist mould . However , it stands out in the Spanish cinema by the time , thanks to a skill realization by Francisco Rovira Veleta and getting a considerable success. Based on an original script by Manuel Salo and Francisco Rivira Beleta himself , being his first big hit . This "Hay Un Camino a la Derecha" 1953 belongs to the Neo-realist trilogy directed by Rivira Veleta along with El Expreso de Andalucía dealing with the famous train robbery and Los Atracadores 1961 about young delinquents . Francisco Rabal gives a fine acting as the unfortunate family man and harbor depot watcher who needs money and will do whatever thing to get it . While Julita Martinez is pretty good as the kind but distressed wife .
