This film belongs to Luis Bunuel’s Mexican period during the Golden age of the Mexican cinema. Nothing surrealist here. Instead it’s a comic drama with Fernando Soler, an excellent actor in the role of Don Quintin, a character always sour who continuously loses his temper and disposes of two very funny henchmen. The film technique’s very good and the musical score by Manuel Esperon is quite nice. The only objection I have is that being adapted from the play by Carlos Arniches “Don Quintin el amargaoâ€, the film should have kept the same title, since Don Quintin is the unquestionable main character.
