«Una musa vestida con vaqueros»: El casamiento engañoso (Luis Calvo Teixeira, 1970)

Abstract

This paper scrutinizes El casamiento engañoso (1970), a television episode for the show Hora 11 (TVE, 1968-1974). Written by Juan Tébar and directed by Luis Calvo Teixeira, this rewriting of the eleventh of the Novelas ejemplares (1613) sets the plot in the twentieth century. First, I will reflect on the linking of this novella to El coloquio de los perros, given that they both share a narrative frame –the dialogue between Campuzano and Peralta– that is absent in the adaptation. Secondly, I will examine the divergences between the two Casamientos and the update of every element of the baroque tale in order to fit the Spain of the seventies.
