Golden Age Mexican cinema with early Cantinflas-speak, 17 September 2001
8/10
Author: Don Lahey (dlahey@msa-tx.com) from Austin, TX

This movie has great early "Cantinfliando", that Cantinflas-speak where he doesn't complete a single sentence, not saying anything at all really, but you understand perfectly what he means. For us Cantinflas fans you get to see the early form of his art just before it is perfected.

It's also Golden Age Mexican cinema, with fast moving comical dialogue that keeps your ear cocked to catch every double entendre, and well developed characters based on cultural and historical stereotypes.

Here Cantinflas shares the stage with Mexican acting when it was legendary.

The macho sparring between Cantinflas and the "Procopio" character is superb comedy as well.
