Soltero soy feliz

About This Movie

Ah, 'Soltero soy feliz'—it's an interesting little comedy from 1938. The film has this light-hearted tone, which is pretty typical of the era, but it also carries this undercurrent of ambition and the struggles of friendship that feels quite relatable. Gustavo and Ramón's venture into the world of radio is amusing, and you can tell there's a certain charm in how they portray the hustle of early broadcasting. The performances are engaging, particularly how the leads play off each other, bringing a delightful energy to their comic misadventures. It’s not groundbreaking by today's standards, but it has a certain quaintness that makes it distinct, giving a glimpse into the cultural fabric of its time.

This film has seen a bit of a rollercoaster regarding its availability over the years, mostly existing in obscure formats which makes it a bit scarce. Many collectors are drawn to it for its representation of early radio culture and its comedic style, which feels refreshingly different from later films. If you come across a print, grab it, as there’s a growing interest in preserving these lesser-known works from the late 30s.
