About El que tenga un amor
Victor is a notorious partygoer who enjoys nightlife and casual romance until an obligation from his past pulls him back to his hometown. Told with light humor, the story follows his attempt to set aside his wild habits and leave his current lover, Lucero, because a bride is waiting for him at home. He returns to family, small town customs, and a wedding expectation that clashes with his city ways. Along the way he copes with awkward conversations, jealous rivals, and the comic missteps that come from trying to trade one relationship for another without upsetting anyone.
Directed by Carlos Orellana and released in 1942, the film features Emilio Tuero, Gloria Marín, Dolores Camarillo, Conchita Gentil Arcos, and Eduardo Arozamena, and was produced during Mexico's classic cinema period.
No reliable box office records are available for this title, and contemporary reporting on its commercial performance is scarce, so its market impact remains mostly undocumented.
There are no well documented major awards or nominations tied to this film in accessible archives. It seems to have remained a modest entry in 1940s Mexican comedy cinema rather than a decorated festival or prize contender.
Critical and audience response is modest, reflected by a small set of user votes averaging around 6.0 out of 10. The movie leans on comic situations and character interactions rather than dramatic depth, focusing on themes like personal responsibility, the pull of tradition, and the contrast between city freedom and small town expectations. Performances by the principal cast provide much of the film's energy, and its humor comes from misunderstandings and social pressure rather than slapstick excess.
