This review is from: El Bolero de Raquel (DVD)

Es la primera pelicula del famoso cómico mexicano Cantinflas que es filmada a todo color. Creo que la trama es solamente una excusa estupida para que Cantinflas tenga la oportunidad de bailar junto a una bella bailarina esa pieza famosa titulada El Bolero de Ravel, la cual dura más de cinco minutos y en la pelicula la baila hasta el final, ridiculizando la obra maestra del gran compositor Maurice Ravel, con la absurda idea de hacer reir a espectador. El resto del filme es lento, aburrido y pesado hasta el final.
