synopsis
Alfredo B. Crevenna directs this amusing Mexican comedy-drama, sprinkled with a few risqué situations but not as spicy as the book on which it is based. Popular actor Francisco Rabal plays the wealthy, elite friend of a woman (Terre Velasquez) who is caught in a serious dilemma. Her family has fallen on hard times and she needs to help them, however she can. She decides to marry her monied friend, and once the wedding is behind her, the challenges of moving in the upper echelons of society and somehow making the most of the marriage give rise to humor, and eventual happiness for all concerned.
