    Three Widows

    As in "Las tres alegres comadres", mediocre musical numbers betray the charm of Lilia del Valle, Silvia Pinal and Amalia Aguilar as the three widows. In the plot, when an old scientist (Resortes) dies on his wedding night, his young widow (Pinal) discovers that he had been married twice before her, first with Aguilar in La Habana, and later with Del Valle, most amusing as a supposedly French woman. Things complicate when his testament is read and the three women find out that the man had a son with a cook and that they have to find him, while European spies are trying to find the formula of a bomb that the deceased man developed. There are long (really long) musical sequences when they open a fashion shop in their home, mostly of neither good nor attractive music. It all depends on the comedians' timing.
