Carnival in the Tropics (Spanish: Carnaval en el trópico), also known in Spanish as Fiesta en Veracruz (English: "Holiday in Veracruz") is a 1942 Mexican comedy film written and directed by Carlos Villatoro.
[4] The film's art direction was by Ramón Rodríguez Granada.
[3] Plácido (Agustín Isunza) and his wife Mercedes "Meche" (Eufrosina García) are two merchants who long to go to the carnivals in Veracruz, the problem is that they do not have enough money to attend.
To do this, they decide to convince the lender Homobono (Manuel Medel) to finance the trip.
This footage was used without the prior permission of Cantinflas, who took legal action,[3] which delayed the release of the film in Mexico until 1946.
