  • In Mexico, Pepe (Cantinflas) is the good-natured ranch foreman of Sr. Rodriguez (Carlos Montalbán). Pepe's pride and joy is Don Juan, a magnificent white stud stallion that he raised from a colt for Sr. Rodriguez and that he refers to as his "son". As Sr. Rodriguez has decided to sell Don Juan at auction, Pepe enacts a plan to dissuade any interested buyers so that he can buy Don Juan himself. The plan doesn't work, as Don Juan is sold to washed-up Hollywood movie director Ted Holt (Dan Dailey)- his current Hollywood status due to alcohol over-consumption - who wants to use Don Juan for his comeback project to be shot in Mexico with an all-Mexican cast except for an American female lead. Pepe decides to head to Hollywood and earn lots of money so that he can buy Pepe and bring him back to Mexico. In Hollywood, Pepe meets Suzie Murphy (Shirley Jones), a coffee house waitress and performer, who has no desire to be in the movie business.
    In the wake of Mexican clown Cantinflas' winning performance in the film Around the World in 80 Days (1956), Columbia Pictures built a big musical comedy film around him. André George Previn, born Andreas Ludwig Priwin, is a German-American pianist, conductor, and composer. He is considered one of the most versatile musicians in the world and is the winner of four Academy Awards for his film work and ten Grammy Awards for his recordings and one more for his Lifetime Achievement).The song "Pepe" was composed by André Previn with lyrics of Dory Langdon and it was sung by Shirley Jones.
