La gorda

There was a time when family films were made in Argentina. That cinema had innocence, likeable characters, careful production, large mobilizations of extras and catchy music since those were times of actors who could sing and dance. Rodolfo Zapata was an Argentine singer who knew how to dance malambo very well (he was Mirtha Legrand's double) and with this particular song he achieved immortality. It is a film that exudes naivety but on the other hand transmits values from a time that will not return but that are especially dear. It is good cinema, the kind that does you good, the kind that makes you smile and gives you joy. Seeing her is really a great pleasure.
