La ciudad no es para mí (1966)

"World-wide (English title) (informal literal title): City Life Is Not for Me" (IMDB)

An elderly man who lives in a small town decides to go live with his son in the big city. His uncouth ways annoy his son's wife and amuses his son's daughter. His son is a workaholic, and this causes some problems in his marriage; the maid is also having troubles of her own. The newcomer tries to fix all those problems.

Entertaining, though extremely predictable, comedy with a terrific central performance. The film's ideology is mildly conservative, quite in line with Spain in the 1960s.

Rating: 44
