Featured reviews
Entertaining and mediocre comedy but professionally -though embarrassingly at times- directed by craftsman Luis Maria Delghado. In this average Spanish comedy there are colored actors , comical sketches , amusement , humor , very brief nudism and amusement . The film belongs to ¨Landismo sub-genre¨, as it bears remarkable resemblance to other Alfredo Landa films , in which , ordinarily , a lascivious as well as bungler typical Spanish man dedicates his all-time to flirts or ¨Ligar¨ beautiful girls . Fun and silly comedy about a sympathetic redneck or ¨paleto¨ man , Fidel Frutos , a country man (Alfredo Landa) who lives at a village along with his father (Adrian Ortega) . When his daddy dies , he aware an inheritance from his aunt , to receive the fortune , he has to carry out only condition : to marry a girl and live at the village . Problems emerge when Fidel has to leave his small place to go to the big city, Madrid , to get a wife . Then Fidel abandons his friends (Ricardo Merino , José Sacristan , Antonio Ferrandis) and the priest (Alfonso Del Real) to rise his life style and he goes to Madrid to find wife . There he meets disconcerting characters and , at last , a beautiful girl (Esperanza Roy) who results to be a whore . Both of whom travel to his village where the bad girl creates extreme disorder among the villagers , chaos and causing mayhem as well as confusion .
Amusing , acceptable but average comedy with top-notch actors , and being middlingly made by prolific Luis Maria Delgado . Typical Spanish comedy of the 70s deals with the humble Fidel/Alfredo Landa becomes involved in a lot of incidents , as he is usually deceived by his friends and women who attempt to take advantage of him . The film partially portrays the society of the seventies with the contrast between rustic civilization and urban one , and being full of frivolity , egoism , duplicity , and deceits . It is a nutty Spanish comedy that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever , though it has some fun and hilarious moments . Humor is sometimes cheesy and gross-out with numerous naughty and picaresque situations . This hilarious as well as average film is full of humor , absurd scenes , and narrating the conflict between the traditional Spanish society and modernity . It is a simple , and humorous portrait of a time when the Spanish people live in the developing boom , including the consuming society and ambitious people . Its nostalgic look has some passable moments that reflect a Spain of the sixties and seventies : a poor country in economic developing during the years when the action takes place . It is full of typical Spanish topics , a simple plot and including atmospheric sets . This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment , including bewildering happenings . The flick packs silly incidents , funny comical sketches , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque situations and above all , it especially contains catching touches of humor and irony . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly agreeable . There are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . This is a fun and funny , though mediocre , Spanish comedy with the great Alfredo Landa as a shy and botcher villager with an only objective , to marry and get a valuable legacy . Alfredo was one of the best and more popular Spanish actors and creator a cinematic subgenre : Landismo. His long career is formed by 110 films for forty years . In his first period through the 60s he starred secondary comical roles in notorious titles as El Verdugo by Berlanga , Ninette y un Señor de Murcia by Fernando Fernan Gomez , and No somos de piedra by Manuel Summers .After the successful No desearas el vecino del quinto by Ramon Fernandez , he performed over 30 comedies in Spanish style : "a la Española" , creating the "Landismo", including titles as Prestamela 15 dias , No desearas la mujer del vecino , Simon contamos contigo , Guapo heredero busca esposa , Dormir ligar todo es empezar , No firmes mas letras cielo , Vente a ligar al Oeste , Jenaro el de los 14 , Manolo La Nuit , Un curita cañon , El reprimido . His third period starts with El puente by JA Bardem , being directed by prestigious filmmakers as Jose Luis Garci in Las verdes praderas , El crack I, El crack II , Cancion de cuna ; Antonio Mercero in La proxima estacion ; Luis Garcia Berlanga in La vaquilla ; Basilio Martin Patino directed him in Los parasos perdidos , Jose Luis Borau in Tata mia and J.L Cuerda in El bosque animado . And standing out important characters in Los Santos Inocentes by Mario Camus , Don Quijote TV series and El Rey del rio by Manuel Gutierrez Aragon . Alfredo Landa is well accompanied by a great support cast . This ¨Guapo heredero busca esposa¨displays a very good secondary casting giving acceptable interpretations , such as : José Sacristán , Antonio Ferrandis , Ricardo Merino , Gracita Morales , Alfonso del Real , Mónica Randall, Laly Soldevila ,Rafaela Aparicio ,Erasmo Pascual , Maria Elena Flores , Adrián Ortega , Miguel Del Castillo and Luis Barbero and special appearance by presenter Jose Luis Urribarri .
It contains atmospheric cinematography by Hans Burmann , shot on location in Horche, Yobes , Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, and Madrid . As well as a catching and evocative musical score by Gregorio García Segura .¨Guapo Heredero busca esposa¨ is a passable picture with some amusing moments , being professional but regularly by Luis Maria Delgado . He was son of filmmaker Fernando Delgado who directed ¨Currito De La Cruz¨ . Luis Delgado's film debut was ¨La Estrella Del Rey¨, though previously directed with Henri Decoin ¨El Deseo Y el Amor¨, with Dulio Coletti ¨Los Italianos Estan Locos¨ and with Fernando Fernán Gómez co-directed ¨Manicomio¨. Luis directed various kiddies films such as ¨Secuestro En La Ciudad¨, ¨Aventuras En Las Islas Cies¨, ¨Hamelin¨ a musical starred Miguel Rios , ¨Chispita Y Sus Gorilas¨ and ¨Loca Por el Circo¨ with Ana Belén . Luis Delgado made multitude of comedies , most of them written by playwright Juán José Alonso Millán , and mostly vehicles for known Farceurs or comedians as ¨Tip and Coll¨ in ¨Garbanza Negra Que En Paz Descanse¨ , Alfredo Landa in ¨Onofre¨ , ¨Guapo Heredero Busca Esposa¨ , ¨Cuando Cuerno Suena¨, ¨Alcalde Y Politica¨ , ¨Profesor Eroticus¨ , ¨Obsesiones De Armando¨, Paco Martínez Soria in ¨La Tia De Carlos¨ , Fernando Esteso in ¨Pepito Piscinas¨, and Manolo Escabar in ¨?Donde Estará Mi Niño¿¨ . And he directed ¨Diferente¨ at his best and considered to be a real ¨Cult Movie¨. This ¨Guapo heredero busca esposa¨is realized in his usual style , getting big success in the Spanish box office and he made several flicks in similar wake . Rating : 4.5 out of 10
