The Cantinflas Show cartoons available on DVD soon!.......2004-06-15

If you love Cantinflas like me or just have some young kids who love great cartoons (I'm 22 and still love them) you'll be excited to know that "The Cantinflas Show" educational cartoon show in which Cantinflas travels the world, meets famous artists and inventors, etc. It's a fanatstic series and should be released by the end of the year. I believe Wallmart will be the first to sell them but lets hope Amazon picks them up quick!

Cantinflas in WIDESCREEN!!!.......2003-12-25

I was so excited to see these classic films in widescreen format, I had to get them. I wish Movie distributors would do this more often. I like to collect classic Mexican movies and I always like to watch them the way they was meant to be watched.

Now that VHS players are becoming obsolete, I hope they start putting more of these movies on DVD.

Great films!!!

Hilarious Vintage Cantinflas Comedy.......2003-12-17

Charlie Chaplin once called Cantinflas "the world's greatest comedian." Most Spanish speaking people would tend to agree. It was with great anticipation that I had been waiting for any sign of Cantinflas on DVD for about 5 years now. I had given up, until Dec 1 2003 when I found this DVD bundle on Amazon.

If you're reading this, I'm assuming that you've already seen the movies and you know how funny Cantinflas movie's are. So I won't go into detail about the movies themselves. They're all hilarious and they're all vintage Cantinflas. The golden age of Mexican theater.

About the technical aspects of the movies. Unlike what the info says, all movies are in Spanish, with English subtitles. The quality of the movies is very good, but don't expect Lord Of the rings DVD quality. Which is normal for movies made for that era that have been ported over to DVD. You'll see details that you never noticed before. Eye Colours, people in the background, vivid and colourful backgrounds.

The sound quality is good, although only in mono but in Dolby digital.

The movies are all in widescreen format, which is great, because for the first time you'll be able to see all of the scenes the way they were originally made.

Will you enjoy these movies if you're not a Spanish speaking person? Chances are yes, I read the subtitles while I was watching the movies, and most of the time, I found the humor translated fairly well. Sometimes, the translation was even funnier that Cantinflas original comments. Alot of time was put into the translation, it was very well done. You'll need to have an open mind though, don't expect Jim Carrey type of humor.

Great movie!.......2005-02-16

Mario Moreno portrays an illiterate poor fellow that has recieved a letter from a dead relative containing a fortune for him, but because hes ashamed of not knowing how to read he decides to go to school and learn before knowing the contents of the letter. The movie doesnt focus on his schooling as much as it does on his new job and his love for a girl. As in other movies, youll encounter the greedy villans, good hearted people, and the charm of Cantinflas.
