«El Verdugo» is the movie by Luis García Berlanga (1963), starring José Luis López Vázquez, Emma Penella and Nino Manfredi, on DVD.
José Luis, an employee at a funeral home, wants to emigrate to Germany, but his marriage to Carmen, daughter of the executioner Amadeo, forces him to inherit the trade to get an apartment. Convinced he will never execute anyone, he accepts; a telegram with an appointment in Mallorca unleashes the wait for a pardon in this satire on the death penalty and the Spain of the era.

For fans of classic Spanish cinema, especially social satire with black humor.
