Aunque este fue puesto como una película de Cantinflas, que aparece sólo en 5 escenas cortas y no juega el comediante que conocemos y amamos. La película está protagonizada por Carlos Orellana, quien se entera de que va a morir pronto, por lo que vive como si no hubiera mañana. Deja caer un montón de dinero en vinos, se pone de pie a su mujer, y se instala todos los problemas a su alrededor. La historia y la actuación son moneda de diez centavos una docena. La caja dice que dura 104 minutos, pero es sólo el 88, y me alegré de ver que termina ahí.
