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."

Joya del cine español, a medio camino entre el costumbrismo y la comedia más negra. Un trabajo magistral de Pepe Isbert que interpreta a un verdugo a punto de jubilarse. Un demoledor ensayo contra la pena de muerte tan bien envuelto dentro del traje de la comedia que apenas eres consciente de lo que cuenta (igual que le ocurrió a la censura de la época).
