Mexican screen legends Viruta and Capulina headline this classic adventure following two absent-minded detectives on their quest to apprehend a notorious jewel thief. Their prime suspect is the daughter of a prominent millionaire, but what use would she have with diamonds when she's already heir to one of the largest fortunes in the country? Later, after learning just how high the stakes really are, Viruta and Capulina attempt to unravel the mystery before a young boy is permanently separated from the only person who matters to him. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A zany spoof of The Phantom of the Opera, this standard comedy succeeds mainly because of the talents of Tin-Tan who shares Mexico's highest-ranking comic stature with Cantinflas. The story is aided and abetted by the usual song and dance numbers, as all the characters of the original "Phantom" (and more) parade by --- ghosts, tough guys, monsters, and others, including the requisite charming female or two. Although the story could be improved in the scripting department, it still offers a good, enjoyable hour and a half to the younger set of viewers. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

The popular, versatile, and talented Mexican comic and singer Tin Tan (Germán Valdés) stars as a gangster in this quickly-made, low-budget comedy by Gang Leader director Rafael Baledon. Able to interpret almost any role in an innovative, original manner, Tin Tan turns his gangster into a unique individual with a definite comic cast. As might be expected, the gangster has a female interest (played by Virma Gonzalez) and the usual group of lackeys and associates that add to the fun. Ironically, Tin Tan began his prolific film career in 1942 in Hotel del Verano directed by René Cardona, and ended it nearly thirty years later, in 1972, in Noche de Muerte -- by Cardona! ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

The celebrated Mexican comic Tin Tan steps outside of his usual slapstick in his portrayal of an eccentric millionaire in this comedy by director Gilberto Martínez-Solares. A singer with several albums to his credit, Tin Tan drops those talents here as well, making this an unusual effort that pays off in the end because of the credibility he achieves as the rich tycoon. The wealthy man comes across a woman in dire straits and nobly decides to help her out, hopefully giving lie to the title of this typical but effective Mexican comedy. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide

Following the same pattern as the series of Cantinflas films, this routine Mexican comedy stars the country's other top-billed comic, Tin-Tan. He falls a little short of convincing in his take-off on a down-and-out storyteller who struggles to eke out a living on a daily basis. As in other Mexican films of this type the comedy arises from the fixes the storyteller gets into as he goes about his business, some of the situations are as threatening to his well-being as they are funny, yet once again, this time-worn formula runs a little thin here. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
