      The title is a play on words in the original Spanish. The word "mancha" means "stain" in that language, but La Mancha is also the name of the region in which Don Quixote lives.

    A good Cantinflas recital including sympathy , enjoyable humor and endless chatting

    Here Cantinflas is a law intern called Justo Leal y Aventado who works for wealthy advocates in law . Cantinflas , who hasn't finished his Lawyer career after 10 years , is usually advised by an old University professor Ramon de Arvide : Angel Garasa. Finally , Cantinflas abandon them and decides to open his own office , though without his degree . Supported by the beautiful secretary : Lupita Ferrer of his former employment , he helps unfortunate people , as a dancing girl whose child is wanted to be taken by a state orphanage or various tenants whose land lord wishes to evict their flats . Along the way Cantinflas walks with his pet , a small goatling , here and there .

    Fast-talking Cantinflas steals the spectacle , using his ordinary skills , tics , jokers and his ordinary aspect as his two-piece moustache , though this time he dresses more elegant than former entries , the reason for he is working as an advocate intern . Cantinflas performs the common show , regular routine touches , engaging drawn-out chatting and fraternity with everybody . Cantinflas shows his magnificent comical abilities , including optimism, sympathy , comradeship , amusement and fun. Mexico's biggest and most beloved and intimate comedy film star of all time had an important career as national as international, in fact he was described as the World greatest comedian by none other than Charles Chaplin. Here Cantinflas was in his middle-late career that began in the Forties . Cantinflas would achieve his biggest hits in the 50s and 60s with films as El Bolero de Raquel , El Bombero atomico, Si yo fuera diputado , El Portero , El Padrecito, El Analfabeto , El Embajador , El Extra , Por Mis Pistolas and his two Hollywood movies : Around the World in 80 days and Pepe . His films made more money than any other Spanish language feature ever shown in the United States and all over the World.

    The motion picture was well and professionally made by Cantinflas's ordinary director , Miguel Maria Delgado , and shot in Churubasco studios , Mexico DC as usual . The career of this filmmaker is undoubtely united to Cantinflas , whom directed in multitude of films , such as : El Señor Doctor , El Profe , El Supersabio, Los tres Mosqueteros , El Gendarme Deconocido, among others . The film will appeal to Cantinflas fans . Worthwhile watching
