The painful twilight of triumph
toni_mg41 August 2002
Sociological document about the doubtful and transitory greatness of success, which commercial bump cut off Summers unruly and promising career, that since then would be focus on the most tedious and loathsome commercial search.

In a capable montage that mixed library pictures with interviews through a complex combination of acrimony, tenderness and sarcasm, the film shows the pathetic situation of some old figures (Uzdudum, boxer; Gorostiza, footballer; Villalta, bull-fighter; El Gran Gilbert, singer and show-man...) with the objective of recriminate the hateful competence of human nature for desert the same idols that it created with passion.

In the other hand, the report offers a cynical and exhaustive description of vices and deficiencies of Spanish sixties way of life, that, how it was to be presumed, couldn't dodge the pro-Franco censorship.
