Jealous of Herself

About This Movie

So, 'Jealous of Herself'—it's a quirky little piece from 1980, though oddly enough, the director's name seems to have slipped through the cracks. This TV movie is an adaptation of Tirso de Molina's comedy, bringing that classic Spanish flair to the screen. You know, the kind of theatrical conventions that stick to the 'cloak-and-dagger' style? It’s all there: mistaken identities, clever wordplay, and a certain lightness in tone. The pacing is pretty brisk, which keeps things engaging, and the performances have that playful energy that you expect from such adaptations. The atmosphere is a delightful nod to vintage comedies, and while it’s not groundbreaking, it has its own charming vibe that makes it stand out just a bit from the usual fare.
