Hipólito y Evita (also known as When love comes, or Do what you want in English) is a romantic comedy 1973 Argentine film directed by Orestes A. Trucco and starring Raúl Taibo, Amalia Scaliter, Gilda Lousek y Ricardo Bauleo. The script was written by Salvador Valverde Calvo and it was shot in General Rodríguez.
Comedy based on the Romeo and Juliet story with the lovers' families at odds with each other over their different socio-political backgrounds. Hipolito's family is aristocratic and pro-Hipolito Yrigoyen, who was twice president of Argentina and co-founded the Radical Civic Union, a social liberal political party; while Evita comes from a working-class background and a family that supports Eva Perón and her husband Juan Perón, who was three times president and gave his name to the political movement known as Peronism, which in present-day Argentina is represented mainly by the Justicialist Party.
