Ranked as one of 100 great films classic of Mexican cinema, and prominent, 19. After hearing, also i think it is so be it full justice.
Considered as the only black comedy film produced in Mexico, adapting a story by gothic writer Arthur Machen. Luis Alcoriza -Buñuel regular contributor- is responsible for the script, and it shows its corrosive hand throughout the filming. The photograph, in black and white almost essential, it is also outstanding, with excellent use of chiaroscuro and the camera angles, sometimes implausibles. Add to that an outstanding performance of its main actors, Arturo de Córdova and Amparo Rivelles, and its cast of secondary effective, the recipe has all the ingredients for a most delicious dish.
In the background of "The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales" there is a brave and determined social criticism, especially towards to the field and those who support church, something unusual in a country so prone to religious manifestations. Although a close look an addition, as compensation to the sanctimonious, not detract from the overall tone of the film in terms of comedy. To spend a most enjoyable time.
