Storyline
Featured review
This fourth season of the adventures of Curro Jimenez - in reality, a sequel made more than fifteen years later by a private television - never shines like the three originals. It was, in my opinion, very burdened by dubbing and the transfer of filming to Uruguay (why has almost every chapter has to end in the seaside) despite the fact that most of the history continues to take place in Spain - and lacks the grace of the first three.
However, for its rhythm and plot this is one of the most interesting chapters of the season. But it has some unforgivable fault. And revealing of the even more unforgivable carelessness with which this new installment of the series was produced (and postproduced). Like the fact that neither El Algarrobo (Alvaro de Luna) nor Curro (Sancho Gracia) nor their host hide their identity and present it to their guests as "Don Algarrobo".
This would not be serious in any case and they are the kind of things that I do not like even on one of Martes y 13 or Terence Hill/Bud Spencer film. But here it is unforgivable and destroys the entire chapter. Although this is the most entertaining of the ones I've seen so far from the fourth and somewhat failed installment
