El Esqueleto de la señora Morales (Skeleton of Mrs. Morales)

This 1960 Mexican black comedy film, adapted from horror master Arthur Machen's 1927 story, tells the tale of quiet taxidermist Pablo Morales who suffers the demands of his prudish and hypochondriac wife Gloria. After twenty years in this hellish marriage, he decides to murder her. Over the top performances and an ironic, final twist make this film a timeless satire of weepy melodramas.
