This is certainly one of Cantinflas classics (arguable the best). It is also the first one with his favorite director MM Delgado, who was debuting as director in "complete" charge. I'm not sure who benefited more of this association. Delgado became one of the bussiest directors in Mexico and Cantinflas never made a better movie than "Ahi esta el detalle" (also can be arguable the best) done previously and directed by Bustillo Oros. However, he equaled this many times with Delgado (at least until his color movies). Here in this film, it is notorious the liberty he gives Cantinflas to improvise. I believe that this produced most of his funniest scenes. Like in this one when he was reading his report to the chief of police, about a bomb that is just about to explode; and he excuses himself for having trouble to read what he wrote, because he doesn't know how to read and write. Anyway, it'a gem of a comedy and a must to be digitally restored.

This movie is excellent for people who speak fluent spanish,very funny.This DVD has high quality picture,I own the CANTINFLAS COLLECTION on vhs and it doesn't compare,vhs is very blurry,make sure it's a SONY STUDIOS release when you buy.

I laughed my head off. These have classic humour and are fun to watch! I would recommend these to a friend!
