Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes, although he called himself Mario Moreno, (August 12, 1911 – April 20, 1993), was a Mexican comic film actor, producer, and screenwriter known professionally as Cantinflas. He often portrayed impoverished campesinos or a peasant of pelado origin.[citation needed] The character came to be associated with the national identity of Mexico, and allowed Cantinflas to establish a long, successful film career that included a foray into Hollywood. Charlie Chaplin once commented that he was the best comedian alive,[1][2] and Moreno has been referred to as the "Charlie Chaplin of Mexico".[3] To audiences in the United States, he is best remembered as co-starring with David Niven in a Golden Globe Award-winning role in the 1956 film Around the World in 80 Days.
As a pioneer of the cinema of Mexico, Moreno helped usher in its golden era. In addition to being a business leader, he also became involved in Mexico's tangled and often dangerous labor politics. Although he was a political conservative[citation needed], his reputation as a spokesperson for the downtrodden gave his actions authenticity and became important in the early struggle against charrismo, the one-party government's practice of co-opting and controlling unions.[citation needed]
Moreover, his character Cantinflas, whose identity became enmeshed with his own, was examined by media critics, philosophers, and linguists, who saw him variably as a danger to Mexican society, a bourgeois puppet, a kind philanthropist, a transgressor of gender roles, a pious Catholic, a verbal innovator, and a picaresque underdog.[citation needed]

WOW. they chose a Spaniard?!! Very strange choice. He does look like him though, my dad loves him I grew up watching him. He was hilarious. He was Charlie Chaplin of latin America.


Most likely this is good news and they release some of his films on Blu-ray

hmm I am not sure I like the fact that a Spaniard is playing him. He looks like him, but shouldn't they had gone and casted in MX instead?

Looks like a fun movie. I remember seeing a Cantinflas movie in Spain back in the 80s.
