El analfabeto

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).

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.
