Plot

A Don Juan (Mauricio Garcés), a successful businessman in the lingerie business but fed up with having to resort to various costumes, wishes to rekindle his charm and maintain his reputation as a middle-aged womanizer with the help of a friend and apartment neighbor (Alberto Rojas). Things get complicated when he seems to find true love in the daughter of a friend (Patricia Rivera), a girl much younger than him.

Cast

Analysis

Gustavo García and José Felipe Coria in Nuevo cine mexicano described the film as a "self-critical revision" and "bitter self-criticism" in reference to the roles of romantic leading man played by Mauricio Garcés throughout his career. [3] In Miradas disidentes: géneros y sexo en la historia del arte, Alberto Dallal noted that the fact that Garcés's character "ends up in love with a girl who is smarter, in matters of seduction, than him" was a theme similar to that of a previous Garcés film, Don Juan 67 (1966). [4] In Del quinto poder al séptimo arte: la producción fílmica de Televisa, Raúl Miranda López cited the film as one among a group of films that at the time "raised [...] the issue of amusing sexual impotence" (describing Garcés as a "stubborn flirter"), describing it as a "condition [that was] returning to do its thing in the macho Mexican cinema." [5]
