A hilarious Spanish comedy with a top-notch cast, featuring some of the most prominent comedians of the 1960s and 70s.
A low-budget Spanish production, set in Madrid and Benidorm, that blends humor and summer traditions, where husbands stay in the big city while their wives go on vacation. When Adela (Florinda Chico) becomes pregnant, her doctor recommends she rest and spend her vacation at the beach, given her age, so she decides to go to Benidorm. Her husband (Tony Leblanc) stays alone in Madrid, as do two of his office colleagues. Thus, three friends (Tony Leblanc, Rafael Alonso, Antonio Ozores) who work together in an office have to remain in the city without their wives. Meanwhile, the wives (Laly Soldevila, Florinda Chico) stay in Benidorm. In Madrid, philandering husbands are "on their own" and try to flirt with foreign women, but romantic complications and jealousy inevitably arise. Therefore, they take a chance and have some fun by hooking up with three Swedish girls (Helga Liné, Marisa Medina, Erika Wallner). The three attractive Swedish tourists have taken an interest in them; however, it seems there are other motives behind their interest.
A typically funny Spanish comedy with an ensemble cast in a rather lighthearted holiday story about the so-called "Rodríguez" (a term used to describe men who are single) and the tourism boom in 1960s Spain. It also touches on middle-class family problems and other vices. It's full of frivolity, selfishness, duplicity, adultery, and other deceptions. It's a very weak and rather silly film, lacking the spark, chaos, and madness of other Spanish comedies, with a clumsy script by Rafael Vázquez Fajardo, who also produced it. Three Swedish Women for Three Rodriguezes is made in the style of Fernando Merino's Love Spanish Style (1967) or Pedro Lazaga's earlier Summer 70 (1970). It's a comedy of manners, addressing the supposed lust of Spanish husbands, their desire for vivacious foreign women, family and couple customs, and showcasing typical images of the Mediterranean sun of the 1960s.
The film features charming performances from a large cast, with Tony Leblanc, Rafael Alonso, and Antonio Ozores in the lead roles, but it's Florinda Chico who steals the show as the jealous and demanding wife. A large number of actors and actresses, some more well-known than others, deliver engaging performances, including Laly Soldevila, Helga Liné, Marisa Medina, Erika Wallner, and supporting actors such as Francisco Valladares, Antonio Pica, José Moreno, Beni Deus, and Víctor Israel. The motion picture was unevenly directed by prolific filmmaker Pedro Lazaga.
