Red Cross Girls (Spanish: Las Chicas de la Cruz Roja) is a 1958 Spanish film directed by Rafael J. Salvia. It is a musical romantic comedy.
Four women from different social backgrounds - Julia (Luz Márquez), Isabel (Mabel Karr), Paloma (Concha Velasco) and Marion (Katia Loritz) - meet in Madrid while soliciting donations for the Red Cross, attracting men and becoming good friends in the process.
The film critic Lorenzo Hortelano considered Red Cross Girls one of the best examples of the "well-meaning, humorous and nostalgic popular" Spanish cinema of the 1950s and 1960s, following a romantic narrative set against a background that "praises "the joy of the 'modern' Madrid of the fifties."
In the 1980s some Spanish critics dismissed this film's genre as “silly comedies” that presented a false view of Spanish life.
The main theme, composed by Augusto Algueró became a popular hit in Spain.
