'''''Mi novia el...''''' (''My Girlfriend the...'') is a [[List of Argentine films of 1975|1975]] [[Argentina|Argentine]] comedy film.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cinenacional.com/peliculas/index.php?pelicula=1409|title=Mi novia el... (1975)|access-date=July 20, 2010|language=Spanish}}</ref> The original title, ''Mi novia el travesti'' ("My Girlfriend the Transvestite") was edited by Argentine censors when the film was first released. The original script was about a real travesti supposed to be protagonized by Jorge Perez, a famous [[travesti (gender identity)|travesti]] under the name of [[Jorge Perez Evelyn]]. However, the censorship was so strong that the script was changed and Perez was replaced with actress [[Susana Giménez]].

The plot is based on the 1933 German film ''[[Victor and Victoria]]''.

==Plot==
Alberto is a regular middle-aged man who lives with his elder mother and works at a factory. After a night out where he attends a show by transvestite artist Dominique, he develops an unexpected fixation with the artist. What started out as a loud reaction of disgust and bigotry, slowly turns into him realizing that he is in fact attracted to Dominique. This newfound interest fills Alberto's mind with guilt and doubt, while his coworkers start mocking him for dating a "weirdo", and his family grieve his lost decency. In the midst of Alberto's predicament, a revelation by Dominique will shake the board.
