Today marks the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Fortino Mario Alfonso Moreno Reyes, known to the world as Cantinflas. In the English-speaking world he's known almost entirely for his supporting role in Around the World in Eighty Days, but in the Spanish-speaking world he was a major star for decades. I had planned to post a clip from the film that made him famous, Ahí está el detalle, in 1940, but apparently the copyright holders aren't allowing that, so head over to YouTube to check it out.
