Un Quijote sin Mancha


There's a scene where Cantinflas is locked up in a cell with a bunch of hippies. He commends them on their pacifistic ways, but he also critizes them for being hedonists, unproductive, aimless, etc. Cantinflas' attempts at maturity sure sucked the fun out of his movies. Not to say 'Un Quijote' is a bad movie; it's a good film. That scene where Cantinflas' mentor is having a drink with him and his mentor silently falls to sleep...permanently...was very moving. Also, the scene where his pet goat eats up the pages in his book was amusing!
