Como Chaplin

0.0(0)1929—1

Alberto Santana's first film directed in Peru followed the deep-rooted tradition of imitating the style of Charles Chaplin's comedy. Sporting a mustache and bowler hat, the Mexican dancer and bullfighter Rodolfo Areu played the lead role. Areu, who performed variety acts with Julián Santa Cruz's Cuban revue and comedy company, offered as the central attraction of his show what appeared to be an impeccable imitation of Charlie Chaplin. The surviving accounts agree that, like Chaplin, it was a kind of unacknowledged remake of The Kid (1921), and that the liveliness of Areu's pantomime was the film's main attraction.
