Pepe is a 1960 American musical comedy film starring Cantinflas in the title role, directed by George Sidney.

The film contained a multitude of cameo appearances, attempting to replicate the success of Cantinflas' American debut Around the World in 80 Days.

The movie was issued on VHS tape in 1998; to date, a DVD and a Blu-ray have been released in Spain, but none in the United States.

With his luck changing, Pepe wins big money in Las Vegas, enough that Mr. Holt lets him be the producer of his next movie.

In August 1957 George Sidney Productions announced Leonard Spigelglass was working on the screenplay of a vehicle for Cantinflas called Magic.

[9] George Sidney later recalled "there were problems dealing with the logistics of making a picture in two countries with a writer's strike going on at the same time.

"The rare and wonderful talents of Mexican comedian Cantinflas, who was nicely introduced to the general public as the valet in Around the World in 80 Days, are pitifully spent and dissipated amid a great mass of Hollywooden dross in the oversized, over-peopled Pepe, which opened at the Criterion last night.
