Nunca pasa nada (English: Nothing Ever Happens) is a 1963 Spanish-French drama film directed by Juan Antonio Bardem.^[1] Starring a mixed cast of French and Spanish actors it was shot both in Spanish and French. It was a commercial flop at the time of its release.

The film was entered into the Venice Film Festival. Julia Gutiérrez Caba was named Best Actress in Spain by the Cinema Writers Circle, and received the Fotogramas de Plata prize.

Nunca pasa nada depicts an environment and characters similar to the ones appearing in Bardem's great success, Calle Mayor (Main Street), to the point that some critics nicknamed it disdainfully Calle Menor (Minor Street). However, current evaluation of Bardem's works consider Nunca pasa nada a very appreciable film.
