3.0 out of 5 stars The movie deserves 5, the DVD only 2 stars, April 19, 2004

By	"asquel" (Concord, CA USA) - See all my reviews

___This is Cantiflas at his best with a strong performance by Joaquín Pardavé and the rest of the cast.
___But there is not much else in this DVD, the images are not even cleaner than what you would get on a regular VHS tape, though frequently better image quality is seen on broadcast TV. The extra material is scant and not worth the effort of looking for it. The English subtitles are not the best but are not terrible.
___Also, the original movie came out without any music except for a quick-paced tune at the opening and closing credits. Here this tune is switched for a danzón and the original credits with cartoon illustrations are also changed for pictures of Cantinflas.
___The worst thing is that in every funny moment, there has been added a music track to "enhance" the joke as in Televisa's Chespirito show. This just breaks the original movie's pace and charm. It is just plain annoying to be shown when one has to laugh in a Cantinflas movie as this is unnecessary.

___Whoever (someone without a sense of humor) thought it possible to improve such a great Cantinflas movie just made it loose some of its luster. Hopefully one day there will be a serious DVD production and treatment of all the movies made in the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Currently most of such releases are very bad, of poor quality and only the movies themselves save them from being a zero star and a waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars One of Cantinflas's best...but the DVD quality is vey poor, January 29, 2005

By	Roberto Solorzano (Bonita, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I always liked this movie and considered it one of the best made by Cantinflas. As far as a movie goes I give it five stars. But the DVD quality is terrible (one star.) The sound and image are bad. The VHS version that I own is much much better, cleaner and clearer . The DVD version also has been cut and is missing a considerable portion of the "wedding ceremony."

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest comedians ever...., February 2, 2005

By	Nicole (Sunny, Ca) - See all my reviews

I love all Cantinflas movies. They make me laugh a 1000 times a minute. Ahi esta el detalle is one of Mario Morenos best movies. But I'd have to agree with some of the other reviews that the DVD version isnt that great at all. It still captures alot of the great moments but they cut out a lot of stuff.Like the wedding ceremony and little parts throughout the dvd. At first I thought my dvd was skipping.=P Maybe someday someone will remake this dvd to contian the whole film without any editing. Id get the vhs over this but its still worth having in any format.
