'My Great Night' trivia and fun facts

The director, Alex de la Iglesia, always thought the singer Raphael had to play the leading role when he was writing the script of 'Mi Gran Noche' because it's a part of Spain and his experiences. "Like an area from his head" he said.

Director Alex de la Iglesia seeks to recover "the spirit of the comedies of the sixties, with many actors, persecution and tension, those really funny movies".

The actor and singer Raphael returns to the big screen 40 years after the last film in which he starred. Despite having been tempted many times, he had always said no, until Alex de la Iglesia gave him a script, that was what he was looking for.

The film's title is taken from the popular song by Raphael. Mi gran noche is included in the album Digan lo que digan (1968) and was a version by Adamo. The lyrics of My Big Night was written especially for Raphael and meant a great success in his career.
