He made his first film appearance the following year in No te engañes, corazón (Don't Kid Yourself, Sweetheart), but the film had little success. In 1937 he married Valentina Ivanova Zubareff, the daughter of a Russian-born tent show owner. The two stayed together until Valentina's death in 1966 and raised a son, Mario. Valentina urged Cantinflas to keep trying to crack the growing world of cinema, and he appeared in several more films. In the late 1930s he made a series of comic short subjects in which he was featured in a short story but that were essentially commercials for various products, shown along with newsreels between film presentations. The director of these films signed Cantinflas to make two full-length features, Ahí está el detalle (Here's the Point, 1940) and Ni sangre ni arena (Neither Blood Nor Sand, 1941). These films had Mexicans lining up in the street and outgrossed the top imported comedy of 1941, Chaplin's The Great Dictator; it was apparently Ni sangre ni arena that inspired Chaplin to put Cantinflas's talents above his own.
The youngest of eight surviving children in his family, Cantinflas (cahn-TEEN-flas) was born Mario Moreno Reyes August 12, 1911, in Mexico City. His father, a post office worker, hoped for professional success for his son and enrolled him in good schools. But Cantinflas preferred to watch the Mexican capital's numerous street performers and, as soon as he was old enough, to try to imitate their tricks and acrobatic feats. Although he did not grow up in extreme poverty, he soon gained sympathy for those who did. Cantinflas was sent to a government agricultural school when he was 15, but he dropped out to join a carpa —the Mexican version of the American tent show.

Cantinflas (1911–1993) was one of Mexico's most beloved cinematic figures, a masterful comedian who cast himself as the resourceful voice of the common people. With a stream of his trademark non-sense talk, he could neutralize the powerful or work around the most absurd forms of bureaucracy.
