El Pisito is a 1959 Spanish black comedy film directed by Marco Ferreri.[1] The Spanish Ministry of Culture forced the producers to sign the film as co-directed by Spaniard Isidoro M. Ferry. It was co-written by famous Spanish screenwriter Rafael Azcona, who collaborated with Ferreri throughout his career.[2] The film was starred by Spanish actor José Luis López Vázquez in his first leading role.[3]
The film depicts widespread poverty in 1950s Madrid. A long-term couple feels unable to marry, because they can not afford the acquisition of a home. They decide that the man will enter a marriage of convenience with the woman's elderly landlady, in hopes of inheriting the lease of the landlady's property. The film was a huge flop when it was released in Spain, but nowadays is a cult classic. The film had troubles with Spanish censorship.
In the film, Marco Ferreri and Carlos Saura appear in cameos.
