Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for people who still love a bit of magic. Best enjoyed if you're happy to go along with its world.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1931: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

In "Terrible Nightmare", Amador, the dull 'Aztec Charlot' embodies Phill Otto Malo, frustrated aviator. Being anxiously awaited in the city of Puebla, he crashes before arriving at his destination. Consequently, he faces several adventures: bullfighter's dress goes to a bullring; in a cabaret flirts with a transvestite believing him a woman, the Keystone Cops come to the cabaret in the face of a bomb threat; Finally, Amador is awakened from his "terrible nightmare" on a park bench by a policeman.
