The famed director of some of the most representative of the first Franco-era films ("Agustina de Aragón", "Locura de Amor"), Juan de Orduña, was commissioned in the late 60s by Spanish Television, for making a total of seven musical adapted from successful zarzuelas, the genre of Spanish Lyric Theatre par excellence.Although according to some, this set in the Basque rural world is one of the most successful, in my personal opinion the film is rather disappointing.
