Hilarious

This is one of the funniest burlesques of a serious play ever done, all the funnier because it is done in verse(although in this version it is rhymed verse),and the plot is followed faithfully. Most of the humor comes from Cantinflas (as Romeo) himself,since the rest of the cast appears to be taking the whole thing quite seriously,although ridiculous remarks are introduced into the dialogue.

Shakespeare -v- Cervantes(?)

This one is undoubtedly one of Cantinflas best. Done during his most productive years (40's), but this one has an extra ingredient. And that is, since is Romeo and Juliet, all the play is done in verse, usually ending with Mexican slang that rimes, which produces a non stop laughing effect. Like many Cantinflas movies, this one in particular, just can't be translated at all, or at least literally, that would kill the joke. This film must be restored and digitally reproduce on DVD, just like so many good old Mexican movies of this period.
