    Iquino movie with Fernando Fernán Gómez's nice acting and ingenious dialogues by Wenceslao Fernández Florez

    After failing as an insurance agent, unemployed Héctor Pelegrín (Fernando Fernán Gómez) eventually gets a job in a school as a gym teacher by cheating his employer .Things go wrong due to he hasn't idea of physical education. There he meets the music teacher (Isabel de Castro) and he falls for her , the problem is that she has already boyfriend . Pelegrin has a friendly behavior with which all the people he comes across drawing much attention ; along the way he swindles some coins to his students by means of kids' games during the gym classes . To get out of the twisted mess as a fake teacher , Pelegrìn plans to organize a football match between two teams : Enciclopedia Academia and C. F. Gran Colegio and he'll be a soccer referee . This will give him the opportunity to teach kids and get some recognition as a teacher , but it goes wrong and ends badly , because being persecuted by everyone

    Friendly and sympathetic comedy with sarcastic touches in which can be appreciated the first performing skills of the great Fernando Fernán Gómez . I've laughed a lot on several occasions with him , and even Fernán-Gómez's pedantic personality fits very well with the character and the amusing story . Fernando Fernán Gómez gives a likeable acting , as he carries the entire film, this is one of his early and best performances, including a pompous and natural diction at the same time. Although gives the impression that Fernán-Gómez wants really to imitate Groucho Marx . The script and the dialogues are pretty good , the plot is agreeable , plain and simple , based on story by prestigious playwright Wenceslao Fernández Flórez . There are interesting roles and various enjoyable set pieces as the wrestling match , the soccer matches, some crazy characters in Max Brothers style and lots of humour . There's also a sharp criticism of the football market, as it was then and has gone on to much more. I think that people who are football enthusiasts , who are millions, should see it . With plenty of disconcerting situations and fun enough , although they are not extrapolated to our days , are not out of date and all the nuances are captured without problems . We are talking about an old movie , almost seventy years away and I think the film has passed the time test .

    The motion picture was professionally produced/directed by prolific filmmaker Ignacio F Iquino , who often used pseudonym Steve McCoy . He has been considered the Spanish Roger Corman and the "godfather" of a new generation of Catalan filmmakers since 1950s to 1980s, like Directors José Antonio de la Loma , Juan Bosch , Manuel Esteba , Julio Coll , Julio Buchs or nearly Catalan Directors of the Eighties as Ferran Llagostera or Ignasi P. Ferré , and further filmmakers , artists and technicians . However , being considered to be one of the worst filmmakers of Spanish film history . He wrote , directed and produced lots of films by means of his production company : ¨I. F. I.¨ (IFISA) that financed lots of Westerns such as : ¨Oeste Nevada Joe¨ , ¨Ninguno De Los Tres Llamaba Trinidad¨, ¨La Diligencia De Condenados¨, ¨Fabulosos De Trinidad¨, ¨20 Pasos a Muerte¨ , ¨Dólar a Fuego¨, ¨Abre Tu Fosa Llega Sabata¨ ¨¨Un colt para 4 cirios¨, and ¨5 Pistolas De Texas¨ . Most of them starred by Richard Harrison , Jorge Martin or George Martin , Luis Davila , Daniel Martin or Robert Woods . Iquino was a Spanish craftsman , writing and directing ; working from the 40s in all kind of genres and B movies until the late 80s . Although he also directed acceptable films as ¨Historia De Una Escalera¨ based on Antonio Buero Vallejo's novel , ¨El Judas¨, ¨Angeles Al Volante¨, ¨Tambor Del Bruch¨ , ¨Una sombra en la ventana¨ and ¨Brigada Criminal¨ at his best .
