... she landed right on the patio

Warning: Spoilers
So this chick Julia falls onto Alejandro's courtyard. Director Néstor Sotelo keeps making us jump with loud noises, which is kind of annoying. Even the opening theme music is more frantic than it needs to be. The ambulance shows up, and we're not quite sure why they don't take her to be examined.... maybe because Julia can't remember her ID number ?? that doesn't seem right. Also a running gag where the phones just ring and ring... another bit where no-one can remember which three digit number to call in any situation. Julia, played by Muriel SantaAna, will have to stay at Alejandro's place. Peto Menahem is "Alejandro". This seems to be the Argentine version of "The Man Who came to Dinner".... but its a woman. A LOT of talking, and a lot of fumbling about, so much slapstick type of comedy, which is usually overdone. Alejandro seems to be an actor, and for some reason they keep showing the actors arguing with the director. Painful. Was that to show us that Alejandro is already stressed out from work ? SO much bickering. and talking. and silliness. Had high hopes for this one, but it took a LONG time to get where it was going. Watch the Bette Davis, Monty Woolley version... so much better.
