Un par a todo dar

About This Movie

So, 'Un par a todo dar' is this interesting slice of early 60s Mexican comedy. You've got these two hapless friends, Viruta and Capulina, who find themselves in a pickle after they unwittingly buy a cemetery plot. The humor is pretty slapstick, with their misadventures contrasting nicely against the eerie backdrop of a graveyard. It's light-hearted but also has that quintessential touch of absurdity that you expect from Capulina’s films. The pacing keeps things brisk, and while the performances may lack some polish, there’s a charm in their chemistry. It's not just a comedy; it reflects that era's unique blend of humor and societal commentary, making it a fascinating watch for collectors interested in Mexican cinema.

This film is somewhat of a rarity in collector circles, as many early Capulina works are hard to come by in good condition. It’s been released on various formats, but original prints still hold significant allure for those focused on classic Mexican cinema. The character dynamics and comedic scenarios resonate with niche audiences, making it an intriguing piece for anyone studying the evolution of comedy in film.
