9 June 2016
José Fernández alias 'Pepito Piscina' (Fernando Esteso) was a villager who was born in a Cáceres village and was subsequently destined to military service in Melilla where he learned his several particular manners . Nowadays , he is a playboy living in Madrid who regularly visits a local swimming-pool just to get off with beautiful tourists . José Fernández is really aficionado to cars , girls , Discoteques and Piscinas or pools . The womanizer Pepito usually flirts with foreign girls . Pepito swindles rich people by selling them rotten cars , as he dupes a wealthy gay man (Manolo Gómez Bur) delivering him an old Mercedes car . Pepito usually takes luxurious cars from an automobile retail owned by Mariano (Rafael Alonso) . But then , a lush car BMV , without plates , of an Ambassador is stolen and problems ensue . Pepito is detained several times and led to a Police Inspector (Emilio Laguna) . Later on , Pepito meets a gorgeous as as well as wealthy widow (Mirta Miller) and both of whom move to Marbella to take part at a rally crossing the famous city and Puerto Banús ; there they meet the Marbelli Jet Set (Jaime De Mora Y Aragón , Helga Liné , Manolo Gómez Bur) .

In this below average Spanish comedy there are colored actors , comical sketches , amusement , humor , nudism and entertainment . Fun and silly comedy about a sympathetic rogue man , being embarrassingly though professionally directed by the prolific Luis Maria Delgado . The film belongs to ¨Landismo sub-genre¨, as it bears remarkable resemblance to Alfredo Landa films , in which , ordinarily , a lascivious as well as botcher typical Spanish man dedicates his all-time to flirts or ¨Ligar¨ beautiful girls . The picture is well starred by Fernando Esteso in his ordinary style . Fernando Esteso played with Andrés Pájares a lot of successful comedies , they are two cool Spanish actors , usually playing a duo of unfortunate , roguish , swindlers as well as bungling people . The movies they played were funny and with many support's actors . The films were in short budget and lackluster but including comedy and lots of fun . Those contained many nude girls , laughs , disconcerting situations , and slapstick , being mostly directed by Mariano Ozores . As they had various years partnership between these box-office two leads , such as ¨Agitese Antes Usarla¨ , ¨Al Este Del Oeste¨, ¨Los Liantes¨, ¨Los Energeticos¨, ¨La Lola Lleva Al Huerto¨ , ¨El Currante¨ , El Hijo Del Cura¨ . This ¨Pepito Piscinas¨ follows similar wake than the precedent pictures . Supporting cast is plenty of familiar faces , such as : Manuel de Blas , Rafael Hernández , Rafael Alonso , Alfonso del Real , Francisco Camoiras , Simón Cabido , Pepe Ruiz , Luis Lorenzo , among others . And of course , Luis Sánchez Polack ¨Tip¨ and José Luis Coll ¨Coll¨ who steal the show in some very fun gags dealing with the functioning a car , among others . Including several ¨Destape¨ or nudist actresses , such as : Mirta Miller , Isabel Luque and the famous nudist of the Spanish Transition , Susana Estrada .

The motion picture was badly directed by Luis Maria Delgado . He was son of filmmaker Fernando Delgado who directed ¨Currito De La Cruz¨ . Luis Delgado's film debut was ¨La Estrella Del Rey¨, though previously directed with Henri Decoin ¨El Deseo Y el Amor¨, with Dulio Coletti ¨Los Italianos Estan Locos¨ and with Fernando Fernán Gómez co-directed ¨Manicomio¨. Luis directed various kiddies films such as ¨Secuestro En La Ciudad¨, ¨Aventuras En Las Islas Cies¨, ¨Hamelin¨ a musical starred Miguel Rios , ¨Chispita Y Sus Gorilas¨ and ¨Loca Por el Circo¨ with Ana Belén . Luis Delgado made multitude of comedies , most of them written by playwright Juán José Alonso Millán , and mostly vehicles for known Farceurs or comedians as ¨Tip and Coll¨ in ¨Garbanza Negra Que En Paz Descanse¨ , Alfredo Landa in ¨Onofre¨ , ¨Guapo Heredero Busca Esposa¨ , ¨Cuando Cuerno Suena¨, ¨Alcalde Y Politica¨ , ¨Profesor Eroticus¨ , ¨Obsesiones De Armando¨, Paco Martínez Soria in ¨La Tia De Carlos¨ and Manolo Escabar in ¨?Donde Estará Mi Niño¿¨ . And he directed ¨Diferente¨ at his best and considered to be a real ¨Cult Movie¨.
