Young Doctors in Love (1982)

A spoof of soap opera hospitals with quickfire jokes along the lines of Airplane. Early in the film we see that a family of gangsters are hiding out because two other gangster families are trying to kill them. When the father of the family is suddenly taken ill with some kind of seizure, they have to find a way to get him to hospital without blowing their cover. They dress the father as a sort of World War I airman, and the son, Angelo (Hector Elizonde) poses as a woman, calling himself Angela.

Angelo is bald and has a beard and moustache; he shaves off the facial hair but he still has a heavy beard shadow.

This becomes a running joke throughout the film as he repeatedly visits his father in hospital, and even gets invited to the doctors' party in role.
