About Recruit with a Child
Military service recruit Miguel Canete (José Luis Ozores) Roncalejo neighbor, provides a serious family conflict. Miguel has a brother, Pipo (Miguelito Gil), aged six, who lives with him and is not willing to leave his side. Back in Madrid, at the destination of Four Winds, Miguel becomes his good faith and simplicity, the target of an endless series of hazing, always related to the sergeant Palomares (Manolo Moran), instructor of recruits. The tribulations of the recruits are complicated when it appears, in full command, Pipo, who was impossible to stay in the base has to seek other accommodations as.
Directed by Pedro Luis Ramírez, Recruit with a Child leans on a strong ensemble — José Luis Ozores, Manolo Morán, Encarnita Fuentes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1956.

He’s also a complete unknown in the criminal underworld, and as a new newbie on the police force, that makes him the perfect man for a dangerous mission: to go undercover as a keyboard player for “Los Lolos”, a cheesy flamenco-trap band, who have been hired to play at the wedding of a local mafia boss’ daughter that a major drug trafficker will be attending. Sebas is keen to take on the mission, blissfully unaware that he will turn out to be even cheesier than Lolo, the band’s lead singer, and fall in love with his sister, Luci.
