Me casé con un cura

About This Movie

So, 'Me casé con un cura' is a quirky comedy from 1968 that dives into the life of Ángel Maura, a seminarian with this spectacular singing voice. It's interesting how he’s torn between his calling and the worldly temptations of fame—his cousin complicates things by impersonating him, which leads to all sorts of comedic complications. The film has this oddball charm, with a tone that sways between light-hearted and reflective, capturing the essence of a unique era in Spanish cinema. The performances, particularly in how they handle the comedic pacing, are a bit over-the-top but work well in this framework. There’s an appealing spontaneity to it, making it stand out amidst the more polished productions of the time.

This film has had a somewhat limited availability in collector circles, with early VHS releases becoming rare. It seems to pop up occasionally in specialty screenings, but finding a good quality print can be a challenge. Interest among collectors has been growing, particularly for those who appreciate the unique blend of comedy and music typical of late 60s Spanish cinema, making it a curious piece for both genre enthusiasts and completionists.
