El gordo catástrofe

Catrasca (Jorge Porcel) is a man who works in a restaurant and in his spare time helps in a children's home. His problem is that he carries a family tradition that makes him cause catastrophes in his path, one of which takes his boss (Adolfo García Grau) to the hospital. Upon leaving the hospital, Catrasca is run over by Graciela (Graciela Alfano), the daughter of Professor Galíndez (Osvaldo Terranova). This is how he meets this professor, who has a formula that says he will be the salvation of humanity, so he is the object of persecutions by villains such as Dr. Linda Winters (Moria Casán).

Directed by Hugo Moser, El gordo catástrofe leans on a strong ensemble — Jorge Porcel, Moria Casán, Graciela Alfano — 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 1977.
