La otra mujer (English: "The Other Woman") is a 1972 Mexican comedy drama film directed by Julián Soler and starring Mauricio Garcés, Saby Kamalich and María Duval.
[1] The film is a remake of the Mexican film Mi esposa y la otra (1952), which in turn is a remake of the Argentine film The Kids Grow Up (1942).
[2] Cristina (Saby Kamalich) and Ricardo (Félix González) have three children: Pablo (José Luis Moreno), Martha (Paula Cusi) and Claudia (Delia Peña Orta), but they are not married, because Ricardo is married to another woman, Alicia (María Duval).
When he finds himself in a hurry when it seems that Alicia is going to find out about her secret life, Ricardo asks Alicia's cousin, Antonio (Mauricio Garcés), to help him by pretending to be Cristina's husband.
[2] Due to the scene that shows Garcés's character accompanied by an English-speaking blonde woman during a card game, in Stereotyped Images of United States Citizens in Mexican Cinema, 1930-1990, David E. Wilt cited the film as one of the films in Mexican cinema that extolled the figure of the blonde woman as an object of desire in Mexico.
