The movie deserves 5, the DVD only 2 stars
___This is Cantiflas at his best with a strong performance by Joaquín Pardavé and the rest of the cast.
___But there is not much else in this DVD, the images are not even cleaner than what you would get on a regular VHS tape, though frequently better image quality is seen on broadcast TV. The extra material is scant and not worth the effort of looking for it. The English subtitles are not the best but are not terrible.
___Also, the original movie came out without any music except for a quick-paced tune at the opening and closing credits. Here this tune is switched for a danzón and the original credits with cartoon illustrations are also changed for pictures of Cantinflas.
___The worst thing is that in every funny moment, there has been added a music track to "enhance" the joke as in Televisa's Chespirito show. This just breaks the original movie's pace and charm. It is just plain annoying to be shown when one has to laugh in a Cantinflas movie as this is unnecessary.

___Whoever (someone without a sense of humor) thought it possible to improve such a great Cantinflas movie just made it loose some of its luster. Hopefully one day there will be a serious DVD production and treatment of all the movies made in the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. Currently most of such releases are very bad, of poor quality and only the movies themselves save them from being a zero star and a waste of money.

Cantinflas couldn't be more happy for going to jail
There is no doubt that this is one of his best movies,. Done in his pre Delgado years, this one was directed by well known Juan Bustillo Oros, who also worked on what turned out to be a great intelligent script. There should be a warning before the movie starts, because this movie might be hazardous to your health, you may end up with stomach cramps and even watery eyes (or pants) for laughing too hard. I just acquired a great DVD copy (finally), restored from a 35mm. master. And for the benefit of non Spanish speaking people, it has English subtitles, and it's a great translation done by Televisa (perhaps with a couple of unimportant flaws, considering this is Cantinflas). So, thank you Televisa for caring, I can't wait for more of those Mexican jewels from the 40's and early 50's.

A great comedy from Cantinflas.
This film is considered to be one of the best comedy's ever done in Mexico. the story revolves around the confusion between a dog named Bobby and a gangster with the same name, and the series of confusions that arise as a result. This was the film that made Cantinflas one of Mexico's greatest stars, with a great story, as well as a great cast which includes Joaquin Pardave, Sofia Alvarez, and hilarious dialogue, this is easily one of the best films ever made in Mexico.
