Los hombres piensan sólo en eso (1976)
Alberto Olmedo y Jorge Porcel. If you’ve been here before, you’ve probably read about them before. It’s hard to believe that I’m tempted to go back to them periodically despite the fact that many of their movies seem like different versions of the same ludicrous plot.

La mujer de mi padre (1968)
