Las salvajes en Puente San Gil

A team of vedettes of a Spanish Revue arrives in a Castillian village to play the Revista titled : "El Carroussel Del Amor" with plenty of picaresque songs and erotic dances , but they are limited by the strict standards of the repressed society , suffering a real isolation from the judgement submitted by the ultra-conservatory women , even impeding them to stay at hotel or boarding house . Finally , things go wrong when there happens an unfortunate tragedy .

A dramatic and choral film regarding the vicissitudes about a group of Spanish Revista, concerning social habits , and deep repression of the Spanish society of the Sixties submitted to rigid moral criteria of the Catholic rules . As the beautiful girls are badly received , as the women villagers treating them lousily with envy , contempt and eventually agressiveness . Although here the priest well played by Adolfo Marsillach understands the girls , deeming they come only to work . The film displays a star-studded cast with plenty of familiar faces and great secondaries , such as : Adolfo Marsillach as an understanding priest , Trini Alonso as an obstinate entrepreneur , Luis Marin as a jealous boyfriend , Valentín Tornos "Don Cicuta" as the stubborn entrepreneur , the good-tempered Jesús Guzman who is still working at his ninety , Candida Losada, Jose Sepulveda , Fabián Conde , Jose Carabias and a lot of actresses playing the vedettes -some of them actually Revista girls- such as : Rosanna Yanni , Maria Silva , Elena Maria Tejeiro , Carmen de Lirio , Vicky Lagos , Nuria Torray, Charo Soriano and the incombustible Marisa Paredes , Almodovar's regular .

It displays an atmospheric cinematography by cameraman Francisco Fraile , shot on location in Navalcarnero . As well as a lively and evocative musical score by Carmelo Bernaola , including some songs as "Sola" performed by Nuria Torray , "Tra ca tra" , and the amusing "Novia de Tutankamen" , in which the chorus girls dance and sing and Rosanna Yanni as main chorist . The picture was professionally directed by Antoni Ribas at his film debut . Antonio was a Spanish writer/producer/filmmaker known for directing some movies about Catalunya history , such as : "Victoria La gran aventura de un pueblo", "Victoria 2 La Disbaixa" , "Victoria 3 Seny and Rauxa" , "Catalans Universal" , "Tierra De Cañones" and his best movie : "La Ciuda Cremada". Rating : 6/10 . Passable and acceptable . The flick will appeal to Spanish cinema fans .
