About Dr. Cándido Pérez, Sras.
Dr. Cándido Pérez is a calm and careful physician who finds himself swept into a playful caper with a friend. The duo move through social circles with two alluring women, turning a routine day into a comic whirlwind. They swap quips and sly glances as they wander from clinic to party, keeping the air light even as misunderstandings multiply. The humor comes from the clash between the doctor’s orderly, respected image and the temptations that brush his life. The film stays in the realm of farce rather than melodrama, offering light commentary on marriage and fidelity without losing its breezy pace. Audiences can expect brisk pacing, quick dialogue, and visual gags that keep the mood buoyant.
Directed by Emilio Vieyra with a screenplay by Abel Santacruz, this 1962 comedy features Juan Carlos Thorry in the distinctive title role, exuding a calm, capable aura. The film plays with flirtation and mischief as a small town sets the stage for a breezy, easygoing farce.
Box office data for this title is not readily available and reliable commercial figures from the era are scarce. It circulated primarily in regional cinemas and festival bookings, with figures seldom preserved in public records or trade reports today outside mainstream archives.
Cultural impact: Documentation about the film is limited, but it sits in early 60s Latin American cinema as a buoyant example of wit and social ribbing. It mirrors a era when respectable professionals faced playful trials, and humor kept moral questions light, sitting alongside other comedies of the period.
Reception & Themes: Contemporary records are scarce, but the film appears to toy with fidelity and appearances without preaching. It treats a physician's flirtations as comic tests of judgment, letting laughter arise from character clashes rather than moral sermons, while occasionally poking gentle fun at social pretensions.
