What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1949: an older pace and style.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Portrayal of a family’s attempt to change the spending habit of the indulgent and hedonistic patriarch, Alfredo. The family decides to try to fool him into spending less by telling him that his large fortune is gone.
