I don't really like too many pre-1960 movies, other than Bogart ones, but I really liked this one. I really feel like it was ahead of it's time. You should check it out.

For those who don't know about the "Torrente" movies I mentioned earlier, its one of the best loved series of comedies in Spain. The 5th one just came out and broke records at the Spanish box office. I haven't seen it yet, I wanna see it. Although to be honest, the 1st two were the best ones. The others are OK, but not as good.

Santiago Segura is the name of the writer, director and portrayer of Torrente. Jose Luis Torrente is the name of the fictional character and star of all the movies.
