The Good Love (1963): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1963, The Good Love is a drama film directed by Francisco Regueiro, running about 90 minutes.

What it’s about. A couple of young university students decide to spend the day in Toledo, in order to forget a little of the routine in which they are. At nine o'clock in the morning, José Luis waits at the Atocha station for his girlfriend, Mari Carmen. The couple has deceived their families, who have told that they will eat in the Faculty. The journey is eternal and the stay in the city, rather than surprise them, as they expected, immerses them, even more, in the monotony in which they live. Without friends, without relatives and without university partners, the couple will spend twelve hours in Toledo, half a day of tenderness in the rain and the December sun that will help them to know themselves better.

Who’s in it. The Good Love stars Simón Andreu as José, Marta del Val as Mari Carmen, Enriqueta Carballeira as Juanita (as Mª Enriqueta Carballeira) and Luisa Muñoz Schneider, among others.
