About This Movie

So, 'Martes y trece' is this delightful blend of comedy and romance, set against a backdrop that feels very much like a playful peek into early 60s Spanish culture. You’ve got Lola and Maria, two spirited young ladies caught up in the excitement of their upcoming honeymoons with their respective grooms, Franz and Pepe. But, what’s interesting is how the film weaves through the chaos of their lives, tackling various mishaps and misunderstandings with a light-hearted touch. The pacing has a nice bounce, and you can sense the chemistry between the actors, even if the director remains a mystery. There’s a charm in its practical effects and everyday settings, giving it a sense of authenticity that stands out in its era.

This film has seen limited release in certain formats, making it a bit harder to track down than you’d expect. The scarcity of prints, especially in decent condition, adds to its intrigue for collectors. Interest is growing as more enthusiasts discover its unique charm and the cultural context it represents, making it a curious piece for anyone diving into Spanish cinema from the 60s.
