Wikipedia article
'La otra mujer' (English: "The Other Woman") is a 1972 Mexican comedy drama film directed by Julin Soler and starring Mauricio Garcs, Saby Kamalich and Mara Duval. The film is a remake of the Mexican film 'Mi esposa y la otra' (1952), which in turn is a remake of the Argentine film 'The Kids Grow Up' (1942).
Plot
Cristina (Saby Kamalich) and Ricardo (Flix Gonzlez) have three children: Pablo (Jos Luis Moreno), Martha (Paula Cusi) and Claudia (Delia Pea Orta), but they are not married, because Ricardo is married to another woman, Alicia (Mara Duval). When he finds himself in a hurry when it seems that Alicia is going to find out about her secret life, Ricardo asks Alicia's cousin, Antonio (Mauricio Garcs), to help him by pretending to be Cristina's husband.

Reception
Comparing the film with its previous 1952 and 1942 film versions, Emilio Garca Riera said that the films of 1942 and 1952 were better. Due to the scene that shows Garcs's character accompanied by an English-speaking blonde woman during a card game, in 'Stereotyped Images of United States Citizens in Mexican Cinema, 1930-1990', David E. Wilt cited the film as one of the films in Mexican cinema that extolled the figure of the blonde woman as an object of desire in Mexico.
