___This is Cantiflas at his best with a strong performance by JoaquA n PardavA 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 danzA n 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. |
