摘要:Arturo de Córdova was an international Mexican film star that managed to participate in Mexico, Argentina and Spain cinemas. His career was possible in a transnational cinema that achieved to reach to a wide Spanish speaking audience. In these films, he developed a character that went from the romantic male star to the mature seducer that will have an important role in the post-war middleclass society. He will act as a medium character between active businessman and their wives that will not admit the daily housework and be kept in a private sphere as norm. The analysis will be focussed on two plays that were adapted to the cinema. These plays were written by two Spanish authors; Alejandro Casona in Mexico and Alfonso Paso in Spain, and they were shot in these countries as Las tres perfectas casadas (1952) and Cena de matrimonios (1962). The dramatic similarity in their approach to the conflict between men and women allow us to present the critical view elaborated against the conventions that gave structure to marriage in this society. The fact that De Córdova played the main role points out the Hispanic shared culture about genre matters.
