Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Cantinflas invented his iconic 'pelado' character—poor, street-smart, chaotic—to become Mexico's most beloved cinematic export before the 1950s.
This was one of eleven films Cantinflas made with director Miguel M. Delgado—they were the Mexican comedy equivalent of Scorsese and De Niro.
