I used to have tape of this movie I made when it appeared on TV down in Mexico City during one of my visits there years ago. I only saw it a couple of times and don't have the tape anymore. I was always hoping it would come out on DVD.
This film could be compared to some of Alfred Hitchcock's more macabre and darkly humorous films. This was made towards the end of the golden period in Mexican cinema. In the 1960's things took a turn towards the cheesy side and only within the past several years has Mexican cinema seen a bit of a turnaround, with some world-class productions.
The black and white photography is excellent and the acting is superb in this film about a man who stuffs animals for a living and has a wife who is even colder than the dead creatures in his workshop. I won't say more so as not to have any spoilers. See it if you can.
