About This Movie

So, 'Un, dos, tres, al escondite inglés' is this quirky little flick from 1969 that dives into the world of music contests with a satirical twist. The atmosphere is playful yet defiant, as a group of young musicians band together to sabotage a song they feel doesn’t truly represent Spain. The performances have that raw, youthful energy that makes it feel spontaneous and alive, while the pacing keeps things moving briskly, reflecting the urgency of their mission. Its blend of comedy and music is refreshing, and the practical effects – though simple – add to the charm. It's a fascinating snapshot of its time, and definitely has a unique approach to its themes of artistic integrity versus commercialism.

This film has seen limited format releases over the years, making it a bit of a rarity in collector circles. Mostly available on VHS and some DVD compilations, its scarcity has piqued interest among those who appreciate the offbeat musical genre of the late 60s. As collectors dive into the Spanish cinema of this era, this title often gets overlooked but offers a fascinating perspective on youth culture and artistic expression during a transformative time.
