Viruta and Capulina's first feature film, Se los chupó la bruja , was shot in 1957 and released the following year by Películas Nacionales. Upon viewing the film for the first time during a private screening, Capulina said that he felt "desolate" and told his wife that he would "never again work in film." [1] However, the film was successful at the box office; screening in theaters for eight weeks. [1]
The films of Viruta and Capulina were often associated with "bad quality" films and television programs. [1] In response, Capulina admitted that he and Viruta never had "the slightest freedom to choose the screenplays." [1]
