Dios los cría

About This Movie

Dios los cría is an interesting slice of buddy comedy that plays with the idea of deception for gain. The setup is pretty amusing: one brother pretends to be blind to help the other snag an inheritance. The performances are light-hearted, and there's a certain charm in the way the two actors bounce off each other. It's not overly slick but has a genuine quality in its humor. The pacing is decent, moving along without too many lulls, though it doesn't shy away from the awkward moments that come with mistaken identities. There’s something to be said about its exploration of sibling dynamics and the lengths one might go to for family, even if the execution feels a bit rough around the edges.

Dios los cría has had a bit of a mixed life in terms of availability; it's not the most common title out there, which certainly adds to its collector interest. The lack of well-documented history and the anonymity of its director contribute to its obscure charm. Finding it on physical media can be a challenge, making it a neat little gem for those into lesser-known comedies from the 70s. As time goes on, this obscurity might make it even more appealing to collectors looking for something different.
