Typical and hilarious Gracita Morales comedy by prolific Antonio Ozores. Nevertheless , the film has a moralizing style with the regular formula about a small-town girl in a great city with the key of a fish out of water . Here Gracita is a a ¨redneck¨o villager who goes to the Spain capital and the film is structured in the form of humorous vignettes, irregular or uneven in their inventiveness , and 'in fits and starts' ; using ridiculous farce , silly irony , contrast , satire , slapdash , slapstick, some touch of the absurd in an urban environment of comings and goings of the domestic environment , including pursuits , flirting , swimming pools , bars and dancing clubs. Gracita Morales's career developed on stage and cinema , she was a known comical player with her ordinary hilarious touches . A famous comedian actress known for La chica del gato (1964), Operación Mata Hari (1968) y Operación Secretaria (1966). She is one of the best loved Spanish actresses of all times . Her talent for comedy was supported by her peculiar, thrilling voice . Her greatest success came with "Sor Citroen", this was one of the films that launched Gracita Morales to stardom in Spain, in which she played a very funny and touching nun. In cinema she starred various comedies mainly directed by Mariano Ozores, winning big hits ,and usually forming couple with Jose Luis López Vázquez or Alfredo Landa . The story is filled with motley characters, some of them offbeat , neurotic and disconcerting who help shake up the story with a varied and effective cast . Gracita Morales is well accompanied by a good cast with plenty of familiar faces , such as : Jose Luis López Vázquez who played various films with Gracita , Antonio Ozores who often stars films of his brother Mariano , Vicky Lagos , Trini Alonso , Alfonso del Real , Tota Alba , Xan das Bolas, José Thelman , Antonio Jiménez Escribano , Pilar Gómez Ferrer , Santiago Rivero , among others .

This routine motion picture produced in low budget by usual production company Izaro Films was regularly written and directed by Mariano Ozores and made in his habitual style with his trademarks . Mariano directed a large number of comedies and in 1964 shot a Sci-fi flick : La hora incognita . As Mariano Ozores wrote , produced and directed the former movie, but was a real flop and he was bankrupt. Then Mariano promised at the future only to make comedies . Although it won prize of the National Syndicate of Spectacle to best actor José Luis Ozores and Best artistic Achievement . Mariano recently won a Goya Award (2016) to his long and fruitful career .
