About A Lady Called Andrew
A married couple's arguments have grown so constant they threaten the life they've built together. Their quarrels draw the attention of a group of gods who decide to interfere, treating the couple like subjects in a social experiment. Rather than heavy-handed moralizing, the deities use sly tricks, misunderstandings and staged encounters to nudge each partner toward seeing different sides of their conflict. The film follows the resulting chain of comic mishaps, romantic awkwardness and small revelations, keeping the focus on how ordinary grievances can look absurd from a divine vantage point. The tone stays light and playful, and the ending resolves the central strain without revealing any surprise twists here.
Released in 1970, the film was directed by Julio Buchs and written by Jesús Antonio Arazca Mena, Federico De Urrutia and León Klimovsky, featuring Juan Luis Galiardo, José Sacristán and Carmen Sevilla in key roles. It mixes classical myth imagery with everyday Spanish domestic comedy.
There are no records of major awards or prominent festival prizes for this title, and it did not make a notable mark on the award circuit. It remains outside mainstream awards histories and is mainly visited by aficionados of period Spanish cinema.
The movie has a modest place in cultural memory, mainly for its unusual premise of gods meddling in modern marriage and for its cast, which includes recognizable Spanish stars of the era. Its myth-meets-sitcom setup has kept it of interest to collectors and viewers curious about late 60s and early 70s Spanish light comedy.
Critical responses are limited, with a user vote average of 5.0 out of 10 reported. The film leans into themes of pride, miscommunication and the absurdity of human routine, using humor to point out how small gestures and new perspectives can defuse recurring resentment.
