He's not a Cantinflas,but he's just as funny,even though I did not under stand the Spanish,in spite of me being half Spanish myself.He's kind of a in between Charlie Chaplin,Three stooges and Toto.This was the first time I ever seen German's films.His family were also in show business and worked in his films too.German plays himself,Tin-Tan,who puts on an act to his son Pepito,played by Ismael Perez,that he works for the rail road .But in fact he is a member of a group of thieves,in which he's the leader,but he rob from the rich and gives to good causes.His next door neighbors is a very sick old lady,played by Euginia Galindo,with her niece,played by Silvia Pinal.In his comedy style,which are very visual and accident prone,they barely pull off the Jewell robberies,they bumble it.The characters Carmelita,played by Silvia Pinel,at the moment hate Tin Tat cause every time he get together with her accident seem to happen.The scene where the gangster group portrays themselves as a painter ,to steal some money of an old french women in her house,the scene reminds you of the three stooges short of the same situation.then you have some of the poor he helps,some of them professional beggars,played by Joaquin Garcia Vargas,who want more from Tin tan than he should have,to get drunk.Tin- Tans last victim is played by a very skinny Canadian actress,who was raised up in Cuba,Famie Kaufmen,plays rich women who aspires to be an opera singer.Tin tan portrays opera singing teacher,in an attempt to steal her jewels.Like Tin Tan her comedy is very animated.then there's a fat character actor of Mexico,Marcelo Chavez, who play a police man who tries to find out what Tin tan is doing.The best part of the movie is the dance number,at a night club by Tongolele,played by Yolanda Montez,Lola Montez Great, great,great Niece? or related to Maria Montez?,is very sexy.I think this film is available at Amazon.com in the united states 06/13/13
