'Los tres berretines' ('The Three Whims') is a 1933 Argentine black and white comedy film, the first film made by the newly formed Lumiton film studio, and one of the first sound films made in Argentina. It was a great success and launched the film career of the comedian Luis Sandrini.

Synopsis



The film has traditional popular melodrama plot elements, and includes performances of tango songs.

It depicts a family whose members are obsessed with the three national 'berretines' (interests or hobbies) of tango, football and cinema.

(In the play the last 'berretn' was radio.).

The family is middle class and makes its living from a hardware store.

The father complains that the hobbies lead the family to neglect business.
