Vicious people under Franco's regime are part of a singular parade in this Spanish film. Cruelty is the word to define actions against a naive young woman who can be hopeless anxious searching for a marrying candidate. The final travelling -around three hundred meters of Emilia running under the rain- is a long shot very well resisted by actress Susana Canales. Trouble with the censorship is that everything, including what the actress is giving the audience, indicates a tragic end. However,at the last minute, the bells of churches explode in the soundtrack and Emilia decides to shelter in one of them. Despite this unexpected and phony end,the movie deserves to be seen

The Candidate is quite a dull movie with stereotypes. Anyway, it shows the attitude of writer David Viñas towards Frondizi's government and the Argentine politicians in general. The cast can do very little to save the film that sinks in the middle of boredom

Far from the peronism, in a sort of naive thought intellectuals believed it would never return to Argentina -but it did- they decided to criticize all those who essay new and barren policies. Cinematography is OK but who wants to see a movie only for this item?

On the other hand, it is not possible to see the contradictions of a society that was, again, near an abyss
