Martes y 13 (1962)

It's Tuesday the 13th, a date which Spaniards think brings bad luck. A couple is about to be married but the groom delays himself because there's a fire in his building. He borrows the firemen's truck to get to the church, and is arrested after the wedding, along with an older man who has gotten married at the same time and church. Both men are released the next day, and both couples head to Portugal for the honeymoon. The first guy has a "twin cousin" who plays hockey in Portugal. Lots of trouble ensue.

Perhaps I'm not in such a good mood today, or perhaps this is actually an annoying comedy. The kind of humor it displays is vulgar and the plot is wholly uninspired. There are some nice shots of Lisbon and the seaside, and the dames are pretty, but I wonder whether that justified watching it.
