    • Quotes

      Suzie Murphy: [watching her boyfriend dance with another woman] Men make me sick. With no effort, I could hate them all.

      Pepe: [sitting beside her] You mean, you hate Pepe?

      Suzie Murphy: You? Of course not. I never even think of you as a man.

    • Alternate versions
      Although several sources list the film's running time as either 190 or 195 minutes, according to studio records it is exactly three hours. The intermission might have attributed to the extra 10-15 minutes. Later cut to 157 minutes after initial screenings.

    A delightful family movie
    I have fond memories of this movie. I remember along with my brother Alan, begging our parents to take us to the drive-in to see Pepe. I don't know anyone who did not like Cantinflas. With the advent of DVD, I don't know why this title has not surfaced.
