The film partially portrays the society of the Sixties and being full of frivolity , duplicity , deceits , amusement and entertainment . This hilarious as well as average film is full of humor , absurd scenes , and developing conflicts between two newly married couples . Pedro Lazaga shot this Spanish-Portuguese co-production that takes place initially in Madrid and later in Portugal, specifically in Lisbon and Estoril, showing
the sunny settings by cameraman Juan Julio Baena photographed in Eastmancolor. It is a simple , and humorous portrait of a time when the Spanish people wished to marry at whatever cost , and including the tourist boom from the Portuguese/Spanish coast . Its nostalgic look has some passable moments that reflect a Spain of the sixties : 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 but results to be a a little bit boring and tiring, at times . 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 . Its plot, always based on the superstition of the day of the wedding, is soulless, irregular in its humor, but funny enough and there's a nice chemistry among four protagonists : Concha Velasco, José Luis López Vázquez , Franz Johan , Isabel de Castro. The film, with López Vázquez in a double role of "twin cousins", has enough ingredients to create an entertaining comic entanglement in a playful atmosphere , along with situations linked to "everything goes wrong" with a fortuitous meeting of couples on a fateful day. Here stands out a fine support cast with full of familiar faces , such as : Juan Calvo , Félix Fernández , Rafael Hernández , Emilio Rodríguez , Licia Calderón , Matilde Muñoz Sampedro , Tota Alba , Francisco Bernal, Aníbal Vela , Francisco Camoiras , Antonio Jiménez Escribano , María Vico , Xan das Bolas , among others.
