El aviso inoportuno

About This Movie

El aviso inoportuno is a curious little gem that showcases the comedic talents of the Polivoces duo, Enrique Cuenca and Eduardo Manzano. Their portrayal of Gordolfo and Naborita injects a lively spirit into the narrative, which is framed around a child’s innocent question about paternal identity. The film unfolds like a series of comedic vignettes, where Naborita's storytelling feels reminiscent of a theatrical performance, layering humor with familial themes. You’ll notice the pacing is quite relaxed, allowing the comedy to breathe, which gives it a unique charm. The practical effects are minimal, but the vibrant performances really carry the film, making it a delightful watch for those who appreciate classic Mexican comedy.

Finding El aviso inoportuno can be a bit tricky since it’s not the most widely circulated title, but it has its niche among collectors of vintage Mexican cinema. There are a few home video releases, though they tend to be scarce, especially in good condition. The film’s whimsical storytelling and playful performances have garnered a small but dedicated following, making it an intriguing piece for anyone interested in the evolution of comedy in Mexican film during the late 60s.
