The Third Door poster

What it’s about. One of the first (and perhaps therefore ambiguous) approaches to homosexuality in Spain at the time. The film narrates in cinematographic form the problem of the third sex, its justification and its existence within a real environment that is society itself. Two parallel worlds are shown to us; one, the hard and professional life of some artists who try to put on a 'music-hall' show. The other world is independent but it shows us what the life of an old glory was like, of an old man who was an artist in his time. Comparing one era with another is the intention of the film and ultimately its plot.

Who’s in it. The Third Door stars José María Móntez as Self, Yolanda Farr as Self, Alfredo Amestoy as Self and José Lifante as Censor, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, The Third Door has been warmly received by audiences.
