New Showbiz Analysis

This 1970 Mexican comedy uses a science fiction premise to support a traditional, male-centric narrative. The film relies heavily on the 'male gaze,' using a protagonist's supernatural ability to objectify women for comedic effect. The production adheres to the commercial standards of its era, prioritizing traditional archetypes and straight-centered dynamics. It functions as a standard genre piece that reinforces existing social norms rather than challenging them. While the film offers entertainment through its charm and visual spectacle, it lacks the intentionality required to disrupt established norms or provide diverse representation.

Official Synopsis

Mauricio is a photographer that works for a very important advertisement company. It all starts with Mauricio's work being criticized by the company, to which Mauricio jumps into the discussion and explains to the company that his idea was misinterpreted, and quits. Mauricio bent on revenge, and promises to be enemy number one of his former employers, sets off and works so hard photographing so many models, that he develops a click that when he blinks his eyes, he can see anybody in their underwear. A lot of Mauricio charm, famous quotes and pranks in this movie, very entertaining and beautiful women for that time. Very recommendable.
