    Fall Series Featuring Mario Moreno: Cantinflas

    Mario Moreno, the actor and comedic genius known as "Cantinflas" was celebrated this year on the 100th aniversary of his birth. In his own country, scores of events are planned; including retrospectives of his work. Latinos, especially those of the baby-boom generation, will remember his on-screen presence. He made more than 50 films, including the English-languge "Around the World in 80 Days" where he played David Niven's valet and won a Golden Globe award for his performance.

    El Circo:

    Cantinflas is a lowly jack-of-all-trades in a circus. He is infatuated with its glamorous female star, and his hapless bumbling disrups the performances and the circus falls on hard times. The only thing that can save the circus is a daring trapeze act. Cantinflas volunteers to do the act and is hilarious on the trapeze, creating such a sensation that the hard times take a turn for the better.
