This was Alberto Gout's final film, far from the corrosive cabaret melodramas starring voluptuous and sexy dancer Ninón Sevilla. Gout was only 59 but he opted for a clone of "How to Marry a Millionaire", and wrote this outdated comedy for Silvia Pinal (wo was looking better than ever at 35). She decided to break the "respectability " of her recent movies with Buñuel, Bolaños and Del Villar, and played a woman who decides to act "scientifically" to marry a millionaire. The film, the plot, the actors (whose ages fluctuated between 43, 35 and 30 years old) and the music are all dated, at a time when stoned hippies were jumping in the streets, The Beatles, The Supremes, Mick Jagger, and Aretha dominated the radio, and world cinema had produced "Divorzio all'italiana", "The Knack", "Lujuria tropical", "I Am Curious (Yellow)", "What's New Pussycat". And "Un homme et une femme"... For a better appreciation of Gout's work, watch his classics "Aventurera" and "Sensualidad".
