Cantinflas’ third collaboration with director Miguel M. Delgado unfolds in a lavish hotel, where he plays a mischievous yet well-meaning bellboy. His antics and sharp-tongued humor stir up comedic chaos among the hotel’s elite guests. When a valuable necklace goes missing and an undercover detective appears on the scene, Cantinflas finds himself at the center of a mystery. Relying on his quick wit and street smarts, he navigates the situation with plenty of laughs along the way. The film highlights Cantinflas’ signature “cantinfleo” style — his fast-paced, rambling speech that became a hallmark of his comedy. Ultimately, the story offers a satirical look at classism and the extravagance of the upper crust, a recurring theme in Cantinflas’ work. In total, he would go on to make 33 films with Delgado, forming one of the most iconic partnerships in Mexican cinema. — Jaime Mendez
