Cast
Reception
Fotogramas magazine commented on the film (translated from Spanish):
"Aged musical comedy built to the measure of the then famous Argentine singer Agustín Irusta. The slight plot anecdote, the search for a guitar that would have belonged to Carlos Gardel, is a mere pretext for the usual repertoire of tangos and the occasional sevillana. Everything takes place within the limits of zero imagination."
