About This Movie

So, 'Historias de la televisión' is one of those quirky gems from the mid-'60s. It’s structured into two distinct stories that really showcase a blend of comedy and drama. The first segment, 'Cuando los gorilas hablan por teléfono,' offers this absurd premise that just invites you to chuckle while pondering the nature of communication. The second story, 'Una chica de fortuna,' dives into themes of ambition and social mobility, but it’s laced with a light-heartedness that never gets too heavy. The performances are surprisingly charming, though the director remains a mystery—adds a layer of intrigue. The film's pacing is a bit uneven, but that kind of fits the playful tone. It certainly stands out in a sea of more conventional fare from that era.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, making it somewhat of a curiosity among collectors. Early formats like VHS and later DVD editions are not too common, especially in good condition. Its combination of offbeat themes and unknown direction piques interest among those who appreciate vintage cinema, though serious collectors might find it harder to track down than other films from the same period.
