Landismo is the name of a phenomena and a low-brow genre or subgenre of Spanish cinema which happened largely in the 1970s, whose name is given to Alfredo Landa (the most represented and highlighted actor of the genre), which mixes easy comedy with low-intensity eroticism. At its apex, this genre was known as cine de ligue (flirt film) because the comedy scenes centered on sexual conquest, especially from foreign tourists. It approximately coincides with the time where there were similar phenomena in other countries, such as the Argentine sex comedy, Brazil's pornochanchadas, sexy or spicy Commedia all'italiana or the Mexican sexycomedias. In the Spanish case the censorship practices of the last few years of Francoism played an important role in the appearance and the characteristics of the landismo genre or subgenre, restrictions where cine de destape in later years could not worry with.
