Editorial Reviews

This black comedy classis was adapted from horror master Arthuer Machen's story THE INGLINTON MYSTERY by screenwriter Luis Alcoriza a frequent collaborator of Luis Bunuel. It tells the tale of quiet taxidermist Pablo Morales(former matinee idol Arturo de Cordova) who suffers the demands of his prudish and hypochandric wife Gloria (Spanish actress Amparo Rivelless). Over the top performances and an ironic final twist make this film by Rogelio A. Gonzalez a timless satire of weepy melodramas.

4.0 out of 5 stars Although I didn't like the End..., February 19, 2007
This review is from: The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (DVD)
This gloomy but realistic movie story, reflects the problems of a bad started relationship between a known Taxidermist Mr. Pablo Morales (Arturo de Cordova) and her bitter sweet and moody wife, Mrs. Morales (Amparo Rivelles). Owed to an accident in her knee and its developed problems, she makes miserable the life of his husband, Mr. Morales desperately try help her and confort her; he try to find an answer to resolve all this problems even taking her to see another doctors too but unfortunately it was too late, because she developed a kind of a liar character, and an obsessive frustrating cleaning mania of herself that created a deep gap in the relationship between them. Mr. Morales couldn't stand next to her or touch her. But an ironic twist of life will provides another unexpected and amazing solution... Good Luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Skeletons of Mrs. Morales: A must have film, February 12, 2007
This review is from: The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (DVD)
This classic black comedy film, deserved a much better transfer to video. Unfortunately the image quality is poor and blurry. For many years I waited for this video release. Too bad it wasn't done better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dark humor at its best!, March 5, 2010
This review is from: The Skeleton of Mrs. Morales (DVD)
I just viewed this film last night for the very first time. What a treat! It's dark humor at its finest. I'm a fan of Arturo De Cordova and consider him one of Mexico's finest actors during its short lived "Golden Cinematic era." The movie is full of philosophical and religious ironies and piquant humor. The subtitled translation for this film is also commendable.
