The Extra is a 1962 Mexican comedy film. The film was released on October 4, 1962, in the United States, has a runtime of one hour and fifty minutes, and is classified under the comedy genre. It was directed by Miguel M. Delgado. The film stars Mario Moreno, known as Cantinflas, alongside Alma Delia Fuentes. It also features special participation by Xavier López, known as Chabelo, and Irma Serrano, known as La Tigresa. In the film, Cantinflas portrays a man who hangs around movie studios and helps anyone who needs his advice. At the same time, he envisions his own versions of how certain scenes should be shot. Both of these angles provide ample opportunities for very witty, subtle barbs directed at the foibles of the film industry. Additionally, this was the last Cantinflas film of its kind based on the provided production details.
