My Beloved Juan (Spanish:Mi adorado Juan) is a 1950 Spanish comedy film directed by Jerónimo Mihura and starring Conchita Montes, Conrado San Martín and Juan de Landa.[1]

Synopsis

The strange disappearance of the dogs of his neighbors leads Juan to investigate it, falling all suspicion on a certain Eloísa, the proud daughter of a scientist who uses dogs to create an antidote against sleep. Juan is a person who is everyone's friend because his only occupation is to do favors for everyone and sleep a lot, with the conviction that whoever sleeps well has to be a good person, without the evil and rancor that comes from not sleeping. In this way he establishes acquaintance with Eloisa.[2]
