Abstract
Luis Garcia Berlanga is probably the most important filmmaker of Spanish cinema. He developed his career mainly in the Franco era and is the author of three corrosive comedies: Bienvenido M r. Marshall (1952), Placido (1961) and El verdugo (1963), which, with its grotesque sense of hu mor, can be used to study the history of Spain during the second half of the twentieth century. Inthis article, we, as a trial, will analyze the three films and what they have meant in this regard.
