Plot:
An interesting take on paranoia and suspense in Spanish. The movie resembles Hitchcocks earlly movies in execution, yet lacks in terms of originality and the eccenctric touch of the old master. A novel watch for fans of film noire, just to see a take on the genre that is not American. All in all, an average, that can - but does not have to be - missed.
Almost paralleling the neo-realism in Italian Cinema, this is a brilliant movie trying to depict the class divide in Franco Spain and the effect war has on a mind. It brings these issues into the realm of a real upper class life. A very good commentary on how war can disintegrate relationships, nobel ideas and faith in a better world, and lands its heroes in disillusion.
Spanish noir from 1955 -- suggesting that the French New Wave auteurs did not get there first (apart from Americans, who started the whole thing.) Although the movie follows the traditional Aristotelian arc of tragedy, it has enough style, cynicism, intimations of sleaze, and lowlife glimpses to qualify, I think.
Un final sobreextendido y algunas actuaciones muy melodramáticas restan a un filme que, de otro modo, podría haber sido una gran película. / An overextended finale and some rather melodramatic performances mar what could otherwise have been a great film.
a thriller about a a professor and his mistress who commit a hit and run and are overcome with guilt. the film explores the gap between the upper and low class of Spain in the 1950s during the Franco era, the time in which the film was released.
