Trivia
Cantinflas and Ángel Garasa often worked together, but their collaboration in this movie was like no other. The scene in which they mistake each other for the flight instructor is so full of jokes and improvisation and they broke character laughing so many times that it took multiple takes and several days to complete.

"Padre nuestro que estamos en tus terrenos..."

If you want to know and enjoy Cantinflas please avoid his movies made in color (including "80 days..). His best movies are the ones made in b/w ('40's and early 50's), and this is one of them. In the last scene with the great Angel Garaza he reinvented the prayer "Our Lord" and took many days to complete , because they couldn't stop laughing at each other, or so they say. The plot is based on a French play, and other versions were made in the 30's, but I can assure you that this one is by far the funniest.
