Calabacitas tiernas (¡Ay qué bonitas piernas!)

1948 | Mexico | DCP | Black & White | 101 min.

Tin Tan meets a sly—and ruined—businessman who has him impersonate himself to avoid facing his creditors. Playing his new part, Tin Tan stages a musical spectacle with the Brazilian Rosina, the Cuban Amalia, the Mexican Nelly, and the Spanish Gloria. Flirtatious and charming, Tin Tan soon has the women fighting for his love—and for the lead role in the show, which has been financed (unbeknownst to everyone) with nonexistent money.
