Reception

edit

La Nación praised Christensen's direction, moving the plot of the farce along easily. It said that Pepe Arias played one of his most interesting film roles. Carlos Inzillo in Queridos Filipipones said that Christensen's film, perhaps influenced by Marcel Pagnol or René Clair, proceeds slowly and engages in manners ... this is a more intellectual role for Pepe ... different from his usual stereotype.[2]
