Trivia

When the producers of the film attended a theater show in Los Angeles, they saw actor Mario Ramirez Reyes at work, who at the time was coming from Mexico with his show “El Show de las Estrellas”, one of the imitations presented was that of “Cantinflas”, whom Mario had learned to imitate since his childhood.

Filming initially began in Los Angeles, California, and later more scenes were filmed in Mexico City.

In 1956, Mario Moreno participated in the Hollywood movie ‘Around the World in 80 Days’, based on the homonymous work by renowned writer Jules Verne. In this film, Cantinflas played the role of Jean Passepartout, the loyal assistant of the eccentric English millionaire Phileas Fogg, who bets with his companions that he can go around the world in 80 days.

Thanks to the outstanding performances and high production quality, the film earned multiple nominations at the 14th Golden Globe Awards (1957), including Best Picture and Best Actor in a Comedy.

Although Cantinflas never achieved the same success in the United States as he did in Mexico, he was honored with the 1722nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6438 Hollywood Boulevard on October 10, 1980.

He is responsible for more than one word that is in the modern Spanish language dictionary, including the verb “Cantinflear”, which roughly means to talk a lot but say nothing of substance.
