Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCantinflas 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.

Featured review
Cantinflas is an undisciplined soldier at the Mexican Air Force , and he also works for a rancher from an opulent hacienda . The rich owner has an ugly and sick daughter who anxiously wishes to marry to a suitable suitor . Problems emerge when the doctor solves about her sickness , it is due to her loneliness , as the wealthy father manages to engage Cantinflas with the ugly daughter to get wedded her . In order to avoid the engagement and subsequenty wedding , Cantinflas will stop at nothing to get arrested at the airquarter . However during his arrest and due to a confusion , Cantinflas undertakes an aerial flight aboard a swift plane with whom he thinks of being his trained instructor: Antonio Garasa , being the latter a bungler private and rookie in piloting, subsequently turning into celebrated aviators.
Fast-talking Cantinflas as always steals the show, by using his common skillness , ordinary aspect , his two-piece moustache and endless chatting . As his ordinary comedy routine consisted of engaging in non-sensical and drawn-out chatter , as well as his outlandish appearance . Cantinflas was the biggest comical actor of Mexico, getting an enormous popularity in Latino America and USA too , he even was really admired by none other than Charles Chaplin himself , who once described him as the World's greatest comedian . Cantinflas is responsible for more than one word that is the contemporary Spanish language dictionary, including the verb "Cantinflear" , which roughly means to talk a lot but say nothing of substance . Here Cantinflas plays as an offbeat private at the Air Force who doesn't know anything about following rules and discipline and working as a handyman for a wealthy owner . However , an amusing mess crops up when the botcher farmhand Cantinflas is coerced to marry an unattractive and ugly daughter , then to avoid the commitment he attempts at whatever cost to be arrested . The best scenes of the movie result to be when Cantinflas and Angel Garasa aboard plane and unknowing for piloting , nevertheless , they arrange to get a world success . Both Cantinflas and Angel Garasa often worked get together , here they display a phenomenal "Comical Vis" , as they mistake each other for the flight instructor , these scenes are plenty of jokes , laughters and improvisation .
This notable motion picture was professionally directed by usual director Miguel Maria Delgado. This craftsman made mostly the Cantinflas recitals , his career is undoubtly united to him , including a lot of films , such as : "El Señor Doctor , El Profe , El Supersabio , Los Tres Mosqueteros , El Gendarme Desconocido , Un Quijote Sin Mancha , El Analfabeto, El Bolero de Raquel , El Embajador , El portero , El Padrecito , El Patrullero" and many others . Rating : 6.5/ 10. Acceptable and decente Cantinflas vehicle that will appeal to his fans . Essential and indispensable seeing for Cantinflas enthusiasts . Worthwhile watching .
