Trivia
The second time Cantinflas's frequent collaborator Angel Garasa portrays a rich man who befriends a poor man, portrayed by Cantinflas. First time was in A Tailored Gentleman (1954).

Alternate versions
In the Telemundo version that aired on September 4th, 2006, a CGI blackboard(with a CGI eraser optically added, as well) is placed at the top and bottom of the screen to hide the letterbox format. The credits are also sped up and some scenes are removed so the film can fit in a two-hour time slot with commercials. Most of the film is shown in a pan-and-scan format.

Great movie!

Mario Moreno portrays an illiterate poor fellow that has received 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 doesn't focus on his schooling as much as it does on his new job and his love for a girl. Through out the movie he encounters greedy men who are out to take advantage of him. The DVD is excellent. Subtitles are optional. Both the picture and audio are perfect. As in other movies, you'll encounter the greedy villains, good hearted people, and the charm of Cantinflas.
