'La presidenta municipal' ("The Municipal President") is a 1975 Mexican comedy film directed by Fernando Corts and starring Mara Elena Velasco, Adalberto Martnez "Resortes", and Pancho Crdova. The film was shot at Tlayacapan, Morelos, Mexico.

Plot



In the small town of Chipitongo el Alto (in English: High Chipitongo), the political boss Don Mario N. Cruz is the only presidential candidate of that municipality. When the town's clumsy and blind pressman Don Casimiro Buenavista prints "Mara" instead of "Mario" on all the ballots, the presidential candidacy automatically reverts to Mara Nicolasa Cruz, an illiterate and indigenous potter. Once informed, Mara Nicolasa accepts her new job as municipal president of Chipitongo el Alto only to rebuke the town's corrupt secretaries. Mario Nicanor Cruz, the former candidate, plans several schemes along with Lawyer Topillo in order to get rid of Mara.
