The Curious Impertinent (Spanish: El curioso impertinente) is a 1953 Spanish historical film directed by Flavio Calzavara and starring Aurora Bautista, José María Seoane and Roberto Rey.^[1] It is based on a noteworthy story from Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes, extracted from his famous exemplary novels (novelas ejemplares).

Plot[]

The film's plot turns around the story between two friends called Lothario (britanized from Lotario) and Anselmo, and the latter's wife, Camila. Anselmo, preyed by an impertinent curiosity, asks Lotario to flirt with Camila, to prove her loyalty. At first, Camila spurns outraged the pretensions of Lotario, and Anselmo remains content about his wife's loyalty, but then convinces Lotario to keep flirting with her. Lotario and Camila finally become lovers, whereas Anselmo remains content about the loyalty of both his friend and wife, not knowing about the love affair which they maintain in secret. An unforeseeable circumstance reveals the truth, so Camila ends up running away from the house, and Anselmo dies writing the cause of his mourning.
