The title of this Argentine drama translates as The Mirror. Indeed, that mirror is virtually a character in itself, offering memories of the past to aging heroine Mirtha Legrand. As she gazes into the looking glass, Legrand relives all her past loves, heartbreaks, triumphs and tribulations. In so doing, she gains a new perspective on her present life. Though generally sentimental and heavily dramatic, El Espejo is leavened by moments of uproarious comedy supplied by supporting player Tito Gomez. The film was written by Carlos Olivari and Sixton Pondal Rios, who'd previous struck box-office gold with Los Martes Orquideas. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
