About The Hand of Death
A film that mixes comedy with mystery. A hairdresser (Lucho Córdoba) is a fan of detective novels, to the point of fantasizing while he works, which causes him several problems with his boss. Suddenly he finds himself involved in a plot as if it were taken from one of them.
Directed by José Bohr, The Hand of Death leans on a strong ensemble — Lucho Córdoba, Lucy Lanny, Rubén Darío Guevara — 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 1948.
