Chanchadas - or as they were also known, pineapples - were the mainstay of the fragile film industry since the 1930s, and held this position until early 1960, when finally the complicity of the audience to these films was already sold out. However, film critics, as well as other intellectuals concerned with cinematic issues, repudiated such films by these avail themselves of technical and cultural aspects exceeded in relation to the time of modernization by which passed all spheres of the country.
