About The Dressel Family
The Dressel family owns a prosperous hardware store in the city. The business is managed by Mrs. Dressel, a strict widow who has two sons: Federico and Rodolfo. Federico falls in love with the singer Magdalena and marries her against Frau Dressel’s wishes, as she wants her heir to marry a German woman. The young couple must face constant harassment from Frau Dressel and an accusation of adultery.
Directed by Fernando de Fuentes, The Dressel Family leans on a strong ensemble — Consuelo Frank, Jorge Vélez, Rosita Arriaga — 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 drama titles of 1935.
