Typical and hilarious Lina Morgan comedy by the prolific Antonio Ozores
ma-cortes31 May 2021
Here Lina is a night-club girl who deceives costumers to get money for her three unfortunate brothers. However , she doesn't get cash enough , that's why she decides to undertake other jobs as a book seller and as a traffic cop with fateful results .

Run-of-the-mill Lina Morgan comedy with her habitual comical skills , gestures , mime and antics . Nevertheless , the film has a moralizing style due to Lina has to sacrifice herself to care and feed her three small brothers . Lina's career developed mostly on stage , she was a known comical vedette , getting successes in Musical Revistas with her regular pal Juanito Navarro . 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 , as she played : Los Subdesarrollados , Las Que tienen Que Servir , Soltera Y Madre en Vida , Tonta Del Bote , La Graduada , Dos Chicas De Revista , Una Monja y Don Juan, La Llamaban La Madrina , Una Pareja Distinta , Esta Que Lo Es , Fin Semana Al Desnudo and her last one : Hermana ? Que Has Hecho?.

Lina is well accompanied by a good cast with plenty of familiar faces , such as : Jose Luis López Vázquez as the pimp who eventually falls for her , Rafaela Aparicio as his spinster sister , Antonio Ozores who often stars films of his brother Mariano , Antonio Ferrandis pre-Chanquete , Rogelio Madrid , Rufino Inglés and Florinda Chico , Laly Soldevilla and Pilar Bardem as three call-girls , colleagues of Lina Morgan at the brothel . It contains an atmospheric cinematography by Vicente Minaya , and completely shot in Madrid. And funcional musical score in the Seventies trendy by Fernardo García Morcillo . This routine motion picture produced in low budget by Jose Antonio Cascales was regularly written and directed by Mariano Ozores and made in his ordinary style. Rating : 4/10 . Below average .
