MAURICIO GARCES : EL DIA DE LA BODATHE WEDDING DAY IS A GEM OF A COMEDY FROM MEXICO'S SECOND GOLDEN ERA OF FILM DURING THE 60's!! The plot centers around a young couple, Marta & Ruben, played sweetly by Ms. IRMA LOZANO & Mr. CARLOS ROBERTO HILL. It boards themes that were probably tabu during the changing times of that era: PREGNANCY OUT OF WEDLOCK. This movie presents the dilema of the two young lovers without becoming preachy, rather in a funny way, HOW DOES A YOUNG UNWED GIRL KEEP HER PREGNANCY HIDDEN FROM HER PARENTS (Mr. ENRIQUE RAMBAL & Ms. LUCY GALLARDO) SOONER OR LATER SHE WILL START SHOWING SIGNS: MORNING SICKNESS & A GROWING BELLY!! Marta can not bring herself to tell her parents for fear of judgement. Finally she tells her mother and thank God her mother understands. HOW TO TELL HER FATHER NEXT? What follows is a truly funny SCREWBALL TYPE COMEDY UP THERE WITH ANY HOLLYWOOD PRODUCTION BY Mr. CARY GRANT!! The excellent ensemble cast including the beautiful Ms. ELSA CARDENAS has a similar problem with her daughter Andrea (model-turned-actress KARLA). SHE DOES NOT WANT HER DAUGHTER TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES & TURNS OVER PROTECTIVE. This movie presents all these serious subjects without becoming overly dramatic but rather keeping a light pace & the laughter coming. Marta & Ruben finally marry & live happily ever after WITH THEIR FIRST CHILD BORN ON THEIR WADDING DAY!! A SEQUEL "EL MATRIMONIO ES COMO EL DEMONIO" (MARRIAGE IS LIKE THE DEVIL) WAS FILMED SIMULTANEOUSLY & BOTH MOVIES WERE HITS AT THE LATIN AMERICAN BOX OFFICE. DO NOT MISS!!
