Reception
[edit]Tulio Carella said in Crítica: "A long story is told in Nubes de humo. The film is minor and poorly plotted. It does, however, offer a few moments of excitement and some not-too-old-fashioned jokes." Jorge Miguel Couselo opined in Correo de la Tarde that it was "another tawdry film". Raúl Manrupe and María Alejandra Portela in their book Un diccionario de films argentinos (1930–1995) wrote (translated from Spanish): "Crepuscular title of a type of cinema that would novolería more (there is a scene with rock and roll music) and that repeats scenes in a frame of falseness."[2]
