I've been wanting to watch it for the longest time, mostly because it stars Cantinflas. I'm a huge fan of him and not just because I'm Mexican, but because he was a world class comedian that could not only make you laugh out loud, but cry with his dramatic acting. Unlike most comedians these days, Cantinflas didn't make the transition from comedy to drama. He always incorporated heavy drama into his comedy and his movies were all social commentaries on the injustices around Mexico. I wonder how his comedy translates to other languages—Not just because the comedy could be lost in translation, but because his movies are so richly infused with Mexican culture and folklore that it could lose meaning if one's not familiar with it. I'd like to read your opinion on some of his Mexican movies. I recommend "Ahi Esta El Detalle" and "El Analfabeto", but you really can't go wrong with any of his movies.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680465389483151500noreply@blogger.com
