Cuando Las Mujeres Mandan (1951)

aka: When Women Command

In this classic comedy of the struggle between the sexes, Tin Tan (Germán Valdés), the comic adventurer, takes us to Cuba where a woman’s will proves too strong to combat. Classic storytelling is matched with beautiful musical performances as the tale unfolds. The story begins when a passenger jet crashes in the jungles of Cuba and the only two survivors are “El Negrito” (Alberto Garrido) and “El Gallego” (Francisco Piñeiro). Little do they know, the island is governed entirely by women. The film also features Tin Tan’s oft-time sidekick Marcelo. (In Spanish language).
