Details

The movie starts with Braulio Peláez (Pedro Infante), a schoolteacher, having just fallen off his horse, representing the situation he and his family are in. The next scenes introduce the viewer to his family and their poor financial and social situation. As Braulio stumbles around looking for his glasses, he causes a famous film star, Alfonso de Madrazo (Rafael Alcaide) to crash his car. Braulio offers him to eat at his house as an apology. Braulio's sister and mother, big film fans, immediately recognise Alfonso and attempt to get him to bring the girl, Luisa Peláez (Irma Dolores) to Mexico City to become a film star. Alfonso agrees and tells them to come to the capital.

Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
hawparks2 A nostalgic film in many ways, with great cameo appearances. The most notable is a brief argument he has with Tin Tan (playing himself), that just should last longer, but the one when he sings second in a duet with Pedro Vargas is undoubtedly the best version of "La negra noche". Oscar Pulido and the unforgettable Vitola are the indispensable ration of comedy and they are in top form. But to top it all, he ended up married in real life to his sister in this movie (Irma). It's great to see this kind of movies restored and digitally reproduced in DVD. Thank you. We need more of this to preserve all those wonderful Mexican movies of the 40's and early 50's.
