El hueso (1967)

Supported by the comic quality of spanish humorist and actor Casto Sendra (Cassen) -by far, with the final image, the most interesting of the movie- "El hueso" is a light comedy, much of the time of the shooting, the "peculiar" spanish society of the sixties.

Saving his aspiration to pure satire, the film is halfway to almost everything, untapped humor to expose the springs of the various powers interested media in a small town just the slightest opportunity arises for it. Nothing to do with the previous comedies corals, especially Luis G. Berlanga -where "El hueso" looks for inspiration- in which social criticism, although somewhat buried, was kept intact virulent and any official organization.

Except for some occasional moments where the tragicomic performance bonus Cassen, the film has no real interest, absolutely dispensable entire sequences, such as that developed at the end in the theater. For more evils, until its appearance the insufferable "tuna" on a night patrol.
