A little bit long, at least it has 30 minutes in excess, a little bit boring and slow. The beginning was promising, but suddenly it started going nowhere. It's a kind of a renewed "Gallipoli" meets "Save private Ryan" but the dead boring way. An overrated award winning film, which makes me wonder who the competitors were in 2019, and another Sam Mendes's aesthetic exercise which lacks interest despite the beautiful images and music.
Juan (Juan Pardo) and Marcela (Ivana) meet in a recording studio when both are trying to succeed in the world of music. Their careers will separate when Marcela's producers change her name to Ivana and she has her first hit, but Juan will compose a song for her that will bring them together again. Essential film in Spanish cinema for fans of 60's groups Los Angeles and Formula V. Unfortunately, the worst are those parts played by the two main characters Juan and Ivana. Do not miss the fantastic version of the song "Busca un amor" interpreted by Juan Pardo.
Very funny. Grant and Dunne never disappoint as a couple. Another comedy in which Cary Grant must reconquer his wife, remember "The Philadelphia Story", but this time Randolph Scott is his wife's "boyfriend" and plays a similar role to that of Ralph Bellamy's, his rival in "His Girl Friday", also from 1940. It is not the best known of the comedies of the 30's and 40's, but it is worth seeing. I highly recommend it.
