El Pez que Fuma

 * ... that El Pez que Fuma was written after someone told filmmaker Román Chalbaud about a brothel with that name? Source: "Una de las noches, el taxista le contó que en la época de Juan Vicente Gómez en aquella plaza existía un burdel llamado El Pez que Fuma. “Cuando lo oí dije que tenía que escribir una obra con ese título. Tardé como 15 años en hacerlo”, recuerda." "One of these nights, the taxi driver recounted that during the time of Juan Vicente Gómez that in the plaza there had been a brothel called El Pez que Fuma. "When I heard of it, I had to write a piece with that title. I just took 15 years", he remembers." (El Estímulo)
 * ALT1:... that Román Chalbaud's film and play El Pez que Fuma was inspired by stories from prostitutes at a brothel he frequented in the 1950s? Source: "Román Chalbaud tenía 20 años de edad cuando comenzó a hacer televisión, a principios de los años cincuenta. Trabajaba [val] a 9:00 de la noche, y cuenta que al terminar [...] llevaban a un “lugar de chicas malas” en la plaza de Catia. Se llamaba El Canario. [...] El dramaturgo y director nutrió su historia con las anécdotas y confesiones de las chicas de El Canario" "Román Chalbaud was 20 when he began working in TV at the start of the Fifties. He worked [until] 9:00 at night, and when they finished [...] they stayed at a "place of bad women" in the plaza de Catia. It was called El Canario. [...] The playwright and director grew his story with anecdotes and confessions from the girls of El Canario" (El Estímulo)
 * ALT2:... that though Román Chalbaud took specific measures to improve the sound quality of his film El Pez que Fuma, the sound was still called bad in reviews? Source: "Para el diseño de sonido trajeron a un sonidista francés en un intento de revertir la crítica más repetida de su tiempo: la mala calidad de sonido de las películas venezolanas." "For the sound design he employed a French sound engineer, with the intention to reverse the repeated criticism of the times: the bad sound quality of Venezuelan films" (Contrapunto) "El pez que fuma, por ejemplo, adolece de mal sonido" "El pez que fuma, for example, suffers from bad sound" (El País)
