Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia'El amor del capitán Brando', is officially the film with the first displayed the bare chest of a woman in Spanish cinema. However, after its premiere in June at the Berlin Festival, it is not distributed in Spain until November 1974. Therefore it would be 'La Loba y La Paloma' with Carmen Sevilla (released on September 9, 1974) that showed the first partial nude female on Spanish movie screens.
Featured review
"What the hell" is a phrase you will likely find yourself uttering frequently during this film. Donald Pleasence and "little person" Michael Dunn (The Mutations, Frankenstein's Castle of Freaks) are the only non-Spanish participants in this film as far as I can tell. At least theirs are the only voices that do not seem dubbed into English.
This is not a film for the average viewer. A normal person is likely (and advised) to turn this film off in the first 5 minutes. But those who like very strange and frequently inept movies could get some laughs out of this one.
There is so much nonsensical crap in this movie that I'm not even going to try to recount it here - it wouldn't be funny anyway, for the sheer idiocy of it you must see it.
This is not a contender for one of the worst films ever (anything by Ray Dennis Steckler would probably beat this one for that title) but it IS bad. And more than just bad, it is weird. The tone shifts regularly and chaotically from being mean spirited to (an attempt at being) tender. And the characters (particularly Michael Dunn) say and do things that make you wonder what the makers of this were thinking.
In short, not the worst film I've seen nor the weirdest. But it is a unique combination of the two.
