About This Movie

So, 'Me ha gustado un hombre' is this intriguing 1964 comedy that plays with gender dynamics in a really interesting way. You've got this young woman who, in a bind with the law, decides to go undercover as a man in a hotel. It's got this fun, light tone, but also delves into some deeper issues about identity and romance, especially when a guest starts developing feelings for her alter ego. The pacing is pretty brisk, and the performances, especially the lead, have this charming earnestness. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t really take away from the overall atmosphere that the film creates—a nice blend of humor and tension throughout. Definitely stands out for its time, examining love and attraction through a unique lens.

This film is somewhat of a rarity, with limited releases over the years making it a bit harder to find in good condition. It's been released on various formats, but the most sought-after is the original VHS, which collectors seem to covet for its unique cover art. Interest in the film has seen a slight resurgence among niche collectors who appreciate its exploration of gender themes and the comedic performances, making it an intriguing piece for anyone interested in vintage cinema.
