El muerto al hoyo... y el vivo también

About This Movie

El muerto al hoyo... y el vivo también is this quirky little gem that dances on the edge of absurdity. Set amidst the chaos of a brothel, it dives into themes of mismanagement within unions and the hilarity that ensues when a customer meets an untimely end. The pacing is erratic, but it fits the wacky atmosphere—like a whirlwind visit to a strange city. The performances are hit or miss, with some delightfully eccentric old-timers bringing unexpected charm. You won’t find top-tier production values here, but that might be part of its odd charm. It’s distinctive in how it blends slapstick with social commentary, a unique fusion that can be both amusing and baffling.

This film has been quite elusive for collectors, with limited releases over the years, making it a curious item. Its history in physical formats is sparse—mostly surfacing on VHS and some rare DVD editions, often overshadowed by more prominent titles of the era. Interest fluctuates, but there's a niche group that appreciates its offbeat humor and chaotic storytelling. Tracking down a decent copy can be a challenge, adding to its allure for those who seek out the obscure.
