With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter and people who need a good giggle. Set in the 1960s, and it looks the part. Shelve it next to How to Marry a Millionaire.
- The mood
- Light and funny, romantic.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 30 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1964: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Cándida marries a widowed millionaire. She is in full exercise of being the housewife, when her husband's daughter arrives, with the company of Amelita Vargas with 2 purposes: to find out what her father is hiding and that she marry him..
