Is it because his father was a groom that Adhémar Pomme has a long horse head and a horse- toothed smile? Maybe but the fact is that his head has invariably caused laughter whatever the circumstances, which is the tragedy of his life. After having worked as an undertaker, a theater prompter, a casino bouncer, and so on, and failing at each job, he applies out of desperation to an institution where those rejected for physical reasons can hide and live together.

Fernando de Fuentes was among the most famous and versatile writer-directors of Mexican cinema’s Golden Age, etching his style on genres as varied as the Western and the musical. In his immigrant melodrama The Dressel Family, De Fuentes addresses the “problem” of the ferreteros: successful bourgeois German families who established their own self-sufficient community within Mexico City, but in doing so—it was widely felt—preserved their haughty colonialist attitudes toward the native population. The head of the Dressel household is a proud and stubborn German matriarch who, disdainful of her son’s mixed marriage, sets out to destroy the reputation of his young wife, a Mexican radio singer (played by the beautiful and talented Consuelo Frank).

"Protagonistas de la Fama," also known as Protagonistas de la Fama VIP is a Spanish language reality television series which aired in 2004 on Telemundo, Puerto Rico. It is based on the Protagonistas... franchise, akin to previous shows Protagonistas de la Musica and Protagonistas de Novela. In this show, contestants compete for leading roles on a Telemundo telenovela. On the show, a group of well-known Latin celebrities live in an isolated studio/house where they are filmed 24 hours a day. Each week, the contestants receive training and later compete in an acting challenge in front of a panel of judges. The judges nominate the person deemed to have performed the worst in the challenge, and the housemates nominate an additional contestant of the same gender. The television viewers then decide which contestant will be evicted by calling in their support. The show was televised each weekday for several months, with eliminations on a weekly basis. José Angel Llamas hosted the show's first season. The winners of the first season were Roberto Mateos and Litzy Dominguez. Mateos was a veteran actor with a wife and children whose résumé already boasted many supporting acting roles as well as being the protagonist opposite Sonya Smith in the Peruvian telenovela Milagros. Litzy Dominguez, better known as "Litzy," had previously been a member of the Mexican musical group Jeans and had begun to pursue a solo recording career.
