喜剧演员

西班牙电影大师安东尼奥巴尔登首部自编自导电影，和他之后的风格不太一样。嘎纳电影节最佳影片金奖提名。 A tribute to the modest world of theater. At his first own picture, Bardem compiled some anecdotes of his parents life and took the exceptional Mankiewicz's "ALL ABOUT EVE" as an inspiration reference to certified and effusive document of affability and admiration to those mobile theater companies, that used to cross the wither Spain of forties and fifties with his modest performance. Emphasizing the longing of triumph that afflicts a young and slack actress, the film narrates with enviable intensity and a pompous visual formalism (with a foregrounds profusion), the miserable and competitive daily task that implies this kind of work; in an interesting social description that allows to think over some delicates themes, such as the dignity, the hope or the vocational doubt. In 1970, Bardem realized a musical version of the same story, "VARIETES", to display the downcast beauty of Sara Montiel.
