            Fernan Gomez and "El Pisito"
            Only a small comment, "El Pisito" is not with Fernando Fernan Gomez is with Jose Luis Lopez Vazquez, another great Spanish actor of comedy. And the director was Marco Ferreri and the writer Rafael Azcona the most important Spanish writer of films. In "El fenómeno" an important scientist is confounded with a popular football player, there is a lot of gags with the scientist trying to play football and people from de rival team trying to avoid play an important game. Finally play and wins and of course catch the girl. In these years the football was very popular in Spain, with the rivalry between real Madrid y Barcelona.

            Fernan Gomez was also an important teather artist, like his mother Carola Fernandez, and his father was also a popular artist, but d'nt recognize as son. He was born in Argentina, but early turn to Spain, where began to work in theater during Spanish civil war with only 13 years, but was very popular during 50, mainly in comedies mainly for his aspect, large, red hair, no handsome and a very nice voice.
