Such Is My Country (Spanish: ¡Así es mi tierra!) is a 1937 Mexican comedy film directed by Arcady Boytler and starring Antonio R. Frausto, Mercedes Soler, Juan José Martínez Casado, Manuel Medel, and Mario Moreno «Cantinflas». It was the first film to feature Cantinflas in a prominent role (his film debut Don't Fool Yourself Dear only featuring him in a brief appearance) and the first of Cantinflas's films together with Medel as a team. The film's sets were designed by the art director José Rodríguez Granada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
