Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesFinal film of Matilde Corell.
- GaffesAt approximately 20:24 there's a close-up of a newspaper, showing the want-ads page. The most prominent ad displays the services of an indigenous witch. You can see that the ad was probably printed separately and then glued on top of a real newspaper, since the gutter to the left is narrower where the ad is than that of the ads beneath. When set in type, a typesetter would have a single metal divider among text columns, which would produce a gutter with an equal width all along.

Commentaire à la une
The movie is about an anthropologist/wizard trying to invoke an ancient legendary hero Quetzalcoatl. For those viewers not well informed about the Mexican Aztecs, many of the errors about the Aztecs portrayed in the movie will be overlooked. However, for those well informed, it will be a very hard pill to swallow. Unfortunately, I know enough about the Nahua Nations that the errors and stereotypes portrayed stuck out greatly. The movie is more focused around the plot to obtain 4 virgins for sacrificial offerings administered by the wizard. This is Mario Moreno's 3rd year in the movies. His debut was in 1937. Therefore, his Cantinflas character is still being developed. In this movie, Mario plays "Cantinflas" and is the anthropologist's assistant. Though his "way with words about talking and talking without saying anything" is apparent, his clothing is "normal" and not with the sagging pants nor tattered clothes. Again, the movie is centered around the plot and not around Cantinflas. What is unique about this movie is that a woman's full naked breasts are exposed and clearly visible in one of the sacrifices. The detective in the movie dropped the ratings even lower. He was assigned terrible acting parts or is a very bad actor. Whatever, if you want to see the Cantinflas character that is well known internationally, see his other movies.
