Another great Cantinflas movie.

Warning: Spoilers
El Siete Machos (The seven Macho-mans man) is yet one more great Cantinflas movie you have to see. The comedy in this movie, like all the Cantinflas movies I know, is timeless and always witty. El Siete machos revolves around an Hacienda where an evil rancher kills his cousin in order to take possession of the Hacienda. The faithful foreman is also killed, leaving two orphaned twin boys, as the mother had died earlier. One of the twins is el Siete Machos, and the other is Margarito, who plays the Cantinflas part. The jokes and gags abound, but one funny scene that is memorable is where Margarito (Cantinflas) tries to serenade Rosario, and had gone to the local "yerbera" (herbal specialist) asking for some herbal tea to improve his voice. He grabs the wrong tea that gives him a woman's voice. This scene will crack you up. I highly recommend this movie.
