What Drop the Curtain Is About
A man who runs a cleaning business is washing the windows of a famous French actress's house when he watches someone inside steal one of her necklaces. All he sees is the thief's back, and that incomplete piece of evidence pulls him into an investigation that gets more tangled the harder he tries to help. Miguel M. Delgado, who directed nearly all of Cantinflas's important films, made this one in 1955. The engine of the comedy is not the plot but the performer: a man who talks at length while saying nothing and confuses authority by speaking its own language back at it. The mystery is mostly a frame built to give him room.
