El siete machos

You may call this a Robin Hood Mexican western. Actually is a great comedy with 2 cantinflas (thanks to the old overlapping trick), Made during his best decade (40's) when everybody was waiting impatiently for his once a year movie. And this one was no deception, so be careful because at least 3 or 4, or maybe more scenes will make you cry of laughter. It is a shame that nobody cares to make decent dvds restorations of all this great movies from the 40's and early 50s, with the exception of "ahi esta el detalle"(very well restored by televisa). Please don't see this on a bad DVD copied from a VHS, I just did and my old VHS copy is much better than the DVD. So come on televisa or whoever, preserve the culture, and start restoring all those Mexican gems.

Thanks to a good script of the married couple Alcoriza(Janeth and Luis),we can see one of the best Cantinflas' movies which mix, great actors who usually play dramas like Rafael Inclan and Miguel Angel Ferriz,this time Cantinflas moving in a rural environment in a double role as a macho hero, singer, braggart, even womanizer at Jorge Negrete or Pedro Infante style and the second one, his typical character ,Miguel M. Delgado as usual in Cantinflas movies freed him to do whatever he wants in an environment which he dominate totally, supported with the always funny Delia Magaña,the beautiful Alma Rosa Aguirre(less sensual than her sister Elsa, but sweeter, according for this role)and Jose Elias Moreno all of them take advanced of the good script that they have to make very enjoyable this film
