Formed by three attractive stories with full of black humor, social criticism and memorable performances . Three stories about the sudden death of three husbands. In "Honeymoon", a newly married man dies because of his wife's excessive ardor. A film with very uneven "episodes", while the first is little more than a very old-fashioned "dirty joke" and the second is only of sociological interest with that unfaithful husband who plays it for having a little love affair at a ski station , the third is the best of the trilgy showing fine humor and acid criticism. In "The Anniversary", the husband, who leads a double life, dies because of an affair with an overly passionate young woman. And in "The Picture of Regino," a grieving widow sees her life turned upside down when she discovers that her husband has died because of her greed and pettiness. Here we find us the protagonist, the always magnificent José Luis López Vázquez, acts, above all, from a painting.
A film endowed with a very peculiar charm and attractiveness with three stories starring three very different widows . "Honeymoon", which is the first, is directed by artisan Pedro Lazaga and has to gorgeous Iran Eory who plays with her recently released husband Arturo Fernandez as if he were a toy and who will unconsciously end up destroying him. And it has nice musical illustrations. The second episode "The Anniversary" is dramatic and although it begins in a relaxed way, it will turn bitter . Alberto Closas, Julia Gutiérrez Caba and Aida Power achieve some perfect creations. Unusually, it is directed by Julio Coll, another good filmmaker . The third is directed by the author of a masterpiece such as "Accident 703", José María Forqué. It's called "Portrait of Regino" and it offers López Vázquez a great opportunity to shine, which the great actor takes full advantage of. The main cast is assisted by stunning secondsry actors nterpreting with their usual solvency by people like Antonio Ferrandis , Alfredo Landa , Luchy Soto, Margot Cottens , Rafaela Aparicio, Giancarlo Del Duca , Antonio Garisa, Doris Coll, , José Sazatornil 'Saza' , Ismael Merlo, María Luisa Ponte , among others.
The delicious musical accompaniments by the unforgettable Augusto Algueró are remarkable. The credits song : Las Viudas performed by Monna Bell written by Antonio Guijarro and Augusto Algueró , it's also notable for its inspired lyrics. Adding an atmospheric and evocative cinematography from three expert cameramen : Juan Mariné (segment "El retrato de Regino")
Mario Pacheco (segment "Aniversario, El") and Cecilio Paniagua (segment "Luna de miel") . The motion picture was competently directed by three great professional directors: Julio Coll, José María Forqué, Pedro Lazaga . Without a doubt, it represents one of Pedro Masó's great achievements as a producer.
