Del brazo y por la calle

A young couple faces an emotional test when money problems make daily life unbearable and their plans unravel. They split up, each taking on whatever work they can find, coping with family pressure, awkward roommates, and nights where hope feels thin. The film follows their separate experiences in town and their small acts of pride and stubbornness as they try to keep going. After months of adjustments and minor successes, they agree to meet again to see whether the affection and shared memories matter in practical terms. Scenes mix light comedy about mishaps with quieter scenes about loneliness, keeping the story focused on ordinary decisions instead of melodrama. It stays intimate, letting small gestures carry big meaning as choices change.

Del brazo y por la calle was released in 1966, directed by Enrique Carreras, with screenplay credits to Armando Moock and Ariel Cortazzo. The film stars Rodolfo Bebán, Evangelina Salazar, Susana Campos, Jacques Arndt and Enzo Viena in principal roles.

Contemporary box office figures for the film are scarce. There are no widely reported gross totals, and it did not register as an international hit. Its theatrical performance appears to have been modest, attracting audiences within Argentina at the time.

While it never became a major export, the movie is remembered by some fans for its naturalistic scenes and for performances by Bebán and Salazar, who were prominent figures in Argentine screen and television. It reflects 1960s urban concerns and maps social attitudes toward love and work in the period.

Critics and audiences have focused on the film's mix of comedy and drama, and its attention to everyday struggles. Major critical consensus is hard to trace today, but the story's themes of economic strain, pride, and the choices people make for relationships remain clear and relatable across time and place.
