Thus is Life (Spanish: Así es la vida) is a 1930 American Spanish language romantic comedy film directed by George Crone and starring José Bohr, Delia Magana and Lolita Vendrell. It was produced as the Spanish version of the English language film What a Man!, also directed by Crone.[1] In the early years of sound such multi-language versions were common, and only declined with the development of dubbing.
