    Spectacular political satire
    In the last Cantinflas productions we have noticed how the actor didn't miss an opportunity to make scathing criticisms of the underhanded society. This work is considered the most important in this regard, since at the height of the Cold War where the rather political and in some cases the military confrontation between the United States (greens) and the Soviet Union (reds) took place .

    "Su Excelencia" shows Cantinflas on another string, putting aside physical humor and concentrating on his infinite verbiage. It is considered the last film of the Golden Age of the Mexican comedian and its merits lie in the crazy dialogues and a much more elaborate plot than expected. Be careful with the final speech, a call in Cantinflas code to end the Cold War that tormented humanity in the 1960s. Similar to the one performed by the mythical Chaplin in "The Great Dictator."

    Invaluable material to work with students that will never go out of style.
