Based on a play by Carlos Arniches, the Mexican No Te Ofendas, Beatriz (Don't Be Offended, Beatrice) is a sophisticated romantic comedy with just a dash of raciness. Abel Salazar (before he became a horror-flick specialist), Manuel Fabregas, Alma Rosa Aguirre and Anabel Guiterrez are the principal farceurs. When not dealing with the amorous entanglements of the four protagonists, the film finds time to poke fun at several Mexican institutions, including the nation's haphazard TV service. Domingo Saler, brother of director Julian Soler, co-stars as Aguirre's father. Since the principal appeal of No te Offendas, Beatriz is its dialogue, the film may not play as well in its English-subtitled version.
