    There's no small roles

    The movie is very good. The first half revolves around Cantinflas being a Fireman and the second half him being a policeman.

    What I see strange, is that the credits show only 10 names, including Cantinflas, and then when we watch the movie we can spot at least 20 more people, women in their majority, with bigger roles than the first 10, all of them uncredited.

    I know that credits belong to those who spend more time on screen, but here, everybody gets dialog and screen time, and only a few get their credits. Not to sound disrespectful, but I think it is important to us, who watch the movies, to get to know each and every one of the people in the movie...

    • Trivia
      Mario Moreno planned originally to borrow some trucks and equipment from Mexico City's fire department, but was dissapointed when noticed that all the equipment, trucks snd even the buildings were a total disaster. In fact, due the lack of equipment, the firefighters could hardly work. All the mess was (obviously) product of the corruption of the authorities. So, Mario bought brand new equipment, trucks and even rebuilt a whole building in order to have the set ready for the film. No need to say that he donated everything to the city afterwards.
