Amusing Spanish comedy but extremely moralizing with the great Paco Martínez Soria who became himself a big star during his last years ; he steals the show with his Aragonese accent , and playing splendidly his usual role as a fast-talking , grumpy as well as intimate old man . This diverting movie deals with a taxi worker , the simple-minded Antonio Martínez (Paco Martínez Soria) , who lives in Madrid along with wife - Mercedes Vecino- and sons , but things are far from ideal . Funny and fun acting by the old cab man magnificently played by Paco Martínez who decides to settle down his children . Being well written by prestigious and prolific screenwriter Vicente Coello and based on Carlos LLopis story . The film develops Paco Martínez Soria's classical formula : a lot of problems that the veteran worker attempts to resolve , as well as a troublesome family ; as the sympathetic daddy is upsetting by the loss of moral values that governs his relatives : frivolity , egoism , duplicity and deceits . This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment and is also pretty darn funny . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly enjoyable . There are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social criticism about the peculiar Spain of the 60s . This film packs customary images of the social life from the sixties , nutty situations , but it especially contains catching touches of humor , tongue-in-cheek and irony ; adding the typical Spanish idiosyncrasy .
