That Happy Couple

Esa pareja feliz (translation: That Happy Couple) is a Spanish comedy film co-written and co-directed by Juan Antonio Bardem and Luis García Berlanga.

It was their feature film debut and is considered a criticism of the consumerist desire that was beginning to appear in Spain.

The film was made in 1951, but not released until 1953.

Good-for-nothing, Juan marries Carmen to begin suffering what he thinks her and their friends' scorn at his proven inability to make a living, until he's lured to an apparent sound business that will for sure make them rich.
