About Mosquita muerta
In an all-girls boarding school, one of the students resists the will of her uncles to marry her off because she does not know her future husband. Which is why she pretends to be a prude for whom marriage is a dirty word.
Directed by Luis César Amadori, Mosquita muerta leans on a strong ensemble — Niní Marshall, Enrique de Rosas, Francisco Charmiello — 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 1946.
