Dear Nanny (Spanish: Tata mía) is a 1986 Spanish drama film directed and written by José Luis Borau and starring Imperio Argentina, Alfredo Landa and Carmen Maura. It is scored by Jacobo Durán Loriga. José Luis Borau was nominated to a Goya Award for Best Original Screenplay and Miguel Rellán won the Goya Award for Best Supporting Actor in the 1987 edition.

Cast

Production

Rafaela Aparicio, Fernando Fernán Gómez, and Concha Velasco were originally intended to portray Tata, Teo, and Elvira, but they had to decline. Borau later argued that Imperio, Landa, and Maura represented by themselves three eras of Spanish cinema. Shooting locations included Mallos de Riglos and an apartment at the Calle de Alfonso XII [es] near El Retiro.

Release

Dear Nanny was released theatrically in Spain on 18 December 1986. It grossed 68,114,656 ₧ (218,663 admissions).

Reception

Ángel Fernández-Santos of El País lamented that Elorriaga's character's lack of plausibility wounds the film at its heart, damaging a work that is [otherwise] "full of cinematic intelligence and rigor in its execution".
