Comedy An undertaker's assistant marries an executioner's daughter, and the new groom takes on his father-in-law's job but grows real squeamish when the time comes to execute someone. UK TimeOut movie critic wrote: "Regularly voted by its country's critics as the best Spanish film of all time, Berlanga's brilliant dark comedy on the peculiar horror of the garotte has not lost its power over the years."

Una verdadera obra maestra en la que se denuncia de manera excepcional la inoperancia burocrática de la España del desarrollismo. No podemos evitar ver a Franco reflejado en ese papel de viejo verdugo que cede su puesto de trabajo al yerno para que éste pueda conseguir un piso. No es sólo una mordaz crítica a la España de los sesenta sino que además es un grandioso ejercicio dramático. Imprescindible.
