Internado (1935) is a quirky little comedy that dives into the chaotic world of a student who makes the rather audacious decision to abandon his medical studies in favor of a singing career. The film's atmosphere is light and playful, capturing the essence of the era's musical escapades. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that adds to its charm, giving it a spontaneous vibe. A distinct twist in the plot sees his girlfriend's affections shift to his brother, which introduces a layer of sibling rivalry while exploring themes of love and ambition. The performances have a certain earnestness, somewhat reminiscent of early talkies, which makes it a fascinating watch for those who appreciate the evolution of comedic storytelling.
Internado has a bit of a murky history in terms of availability; it seems to pop up occasionally at collector gatherings but isn’t exactly commonplace. Finding a good quality print can be a challenge, making it somewhat sought after among enthusiasts who appreciate early sound films. The film's comedic elements and musical numbers offer a glimpse into the 1930s cinema that may not be widely known, but that lends it a unique place in the collector's realm.
