Oh What Beautiful Legs!

Calabacitas Tiernas (¡Ay qué bonitas piernas!)

Synopsis

A man hired to impersonate a bankrupt business mogul who is currently on the run from creditors sets out organize a musical starring beauties from Brazil, Mexico, and Spain in this Spanish-language comedy starring popular funnyman Tin Tan (Germán Valdés). Now, as the hapless imposter attempts to finance a musical without any money, he also discovers just how difficult it can be to juggle three beautiful starlets who all have eyes for their presumably wealthy producer. Another common English translation of the title of this film is Tender Pumpkins or Tender Little Pumpkins (although a direct translation is Baby Zucchini).
