No quiero perder la honra

About This Movie

So, 'No quiero perder la honra' is one of those comedies that exists in this unique postwar Madrid backdrop. The main character, Miguel, is quite the opportunist, relying on the women around him to support his escapades. It's interesting how the film blends humor with darker themes of ambition and exploitation, all while maintaining a light tone. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it adds to that raw charm of the era. Performances are a mixed bag, but there’s something captivating about the way the naive yet ambitious girl gets swept up in Miguel's schemes—makes you reflect on the complexities of ambition and dependency.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, as many copies have faded with time and the director remains unknown. It came out during a transitional period for Spanish cinema, which adds an interesting layer to its history. Interest tends to fluctuate, but those who appreciate the quirks of 70s comedies often find it a curious addition to their collection, especially with its themes reflecting the socio-cultural landscape of postwar Spain.
