Cantinflas
El Más Rico
When the Mexican actor and comedian Mario Moreno - known professionally as Cantinflas - died on April 20, 1993, one article mentioned he was a man of simple life and austere habits.
Well, if by a simple life and austere habits you mean living in five homes filled with expensive art collections and complete with swimming pool, bowling alley, private theater, personal barber shop, and beauty salon for his wife, not to mention owing a 1000 acre ranch, La Purisima where he would fly in his private plane in order to supervise the raising of prize fighting bulls, then we suppose he was a man of a simple life and austere habits.
In fairness, though, Cantinflas was also famous for his generosity. If you showed up at his door, you were not turned away empty-handed. He also was a major philanthropist holding benefits, contributing to charities, and even providing low rent housing to the poor.
Mario Moreno y Reyes was born on August 12, 1911 and strictly speaking into the middle class, the son of a postal official, Pedro Moreno, and his wife, Soledad. The details of Mario's early life, though, are a bit vague. We know he came from a large family - some articles say he had seven brothers; others that he had 12 brothers and three sisters. Whatever the real numbers, the family por necesidad must have led a simple life and had austere habits.
So if you consult academic works about Latin American popular culture and the sections dealing with Mario's life, you'll find they are filled with qualifications: "Legend has it ...", "Legend says ...". Some accounts have Mario dropping out of school where he then shined shoes, drove a taxi, and even tried his hand at boxing and bullfighting. Other stories tell us he graduated from high school and attended agricultural college. But all biographies agree that his natural performing talent landed him a spot in a traveling tent show.
Another legend i
Cantinflas, a celebrated comedic actor, was born Mario Moreno Reyes on August 12, 1911, in Mexico City, Mexico. Cantinflas was from a poor family, and as a child, he was a street performer to earn money. In 1937, Cantinflas married his wife and lifelong collaborator, Valentina Subareff. He worked his way to Hollywood, where fellow comedian Charlie Chaplin, who saw one of Cantinflas’ earliest films, declared Cantinflas to be the greatest comedian alive. He starred in 49 films, including the American film “Around the World in Eighty Day”. He never forgot his background, and used his millions to aid Mexico’s poor. People lined up at the door of his home in Mexico, and the generous philanthropist was always able to help.

Cantinflas provenía de una familia pobre y, de niño, era un artista callejero para ganar dinero. En 1937, Cantinflas se casó con su esposa y colaboradora de toda la vida, Valentina Subareff. Se abrió camino hasta Hollywood, donde el comediante Charlie Chaplin, que vio una de las primeras películas de Cantinflas, declaró que Cantinflas era el mejor comediante vivo. Protagonizó 49 películas, incluida la película estadounidense “La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días”. Nunca olvidó sus antecedentes y usó sus millones para ayudar a los pobres de México. La gente hacía cola en la puerta de su casa en México, y el generoso filántropo siempre pudo ayudar.

Plot
Broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow presents an onscreen prologue, featuring footage from A Trip to the Moon (1902) by Georges Méliès, explaining that it is based loosely on the book From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne. Also included is the launching of an unmanned rocket and footage of the earth receding.
In 1872, an English gentleman Phileas Fogg claims he can circumnavigate the world in eighty days. Met with scepticism, he makes a £20,000 wager (worth about £2.3 million today) with four fellow members of the Reform Club (each contributing £5,000 to the bet) that he can make the journey and arrive back at the club eighty days from exactly 8:45 pm that evening.
Together with his resourceful French valet, Passepartout, Fogg goes hopscotching around the globe generously spending money to encourage others to help him get to his destinations faster so he can accommodate tight steamship schedules.
