CGiii Comment
Memories...hideous memories.
Watch it for the 80s shorts, the tight jeans, the moustaches, the bouffants and the horrific dancing - this has it all.
This little beauty also has appalling sound, some truly awkward directorial moments and a multitude of continuity and script errors.
As a whole, it's bloody awful and will appeal to only those who wish to limp down an avenue of tree-lined nostalgia.

When Rodolfo's mother begins to urge his son to get married, he quickly asks modern and open-mind Olga (Lupercio) to become his wife.
