Atilio Stampone composed the soundtrack.[2]
Reception
editNéstor, writing in Esquiú wrote: "Well-intentioned and with a certain moralizing tendency... the liberality of modernist customs contrasts with the modesty and purity of the traditional family habits". Rafael Granados opined: "Mario David constructs a sensitive film, whose images are spoken softly". In their 2001 book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930-1995), Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela describe the film as a "discreet effort to get away from an industry in crisis, in a difficult time not only for the cinema".[3]
