Fernando
Soto "Butter" was a great comic actor, very talented, because he had a great time in the tents, then in the theater and film magazine where he worked in over 160 films between 1938 to 1977 he worked alongside the biggest stars of the golden age of Mexican cinema as Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, Germain Valdez "Tin Tan", Luis Aguilar, David Silva, Cantinflas, Roberto Canedo, Fernando Soler, Sara García, among others, demonstrating the qualities he inherited from his father, Robert "The Bulgy" Soto.
Astol Fernando Soto was born in the state of Puebla on April 15, 1911 and died on May 11, 1980 in Mexico City, of diabetes. In the beginning
toured Mexico with a show camp assistants in different companies artistic, and then with his own show. It cartacterizó being a pure comedian, not as his father who was noted for his scathing critique or two-way, plus it was considered the initiator of political jokes, because when it was rumored that President Calles had ordered murder Pancho Villa, comedian "Bulgy" Soto yelled "Who killed Pancho Villa? and the ironic answer "street ... it." The film
began in 1938 with the film "Mexico Lindo" starring Juanita Aponte and Rafael Barceló, but in which his father also worked Fernando Soto. And it was not until three years later when he to work alongside Cantinflas film in "No blood and sand" in which he played the role of "Sharif". And then did not return to work in film until 1943 in "The Rebel" with Jorge Negrete and María Elena Marqués.
In "Illusion Travels by Streetcar"
And after that film, theater and worked less in the tents, to make more movies because the following year, 1944, already had been offered two films, "Grand Hotel" Cantinflas "Daughter of the Regiment" with Luis G. Barreiro. And then in 1945 he worked in 4 movies "The memory of a waltz" with Emilio Tuero, "As Mexico is a "Tito Guizar," Single and twin "with Amanda Ledesma and Jose Cibrian," The mysteries of the underworld "with Maria Antonieta Pons. And so it went in the following years, with many interventions in comedies, but also dramas.
But it was in 1946 when his fame rose to intervene in the successful "Uncrowned Champion" directed by Alejandro Galindo with a big role as David Silva and the film won 4 Ariels. But I also did very well with "The Neguib barchante "who directed and starred Joaquin Pardavé.
In 1947 he was great with his popularity to participate in the sequel" The three Garcia "and" The return of Garcia! " directed by Ismael Rodríguez were filmed the same year, also speaking Sara Garcia, Marga Lopez and Abel Salazar.
Then followed other hits like "I'm Rancho Charro large" with Pedro Infante, "John Charrasqueado" with Pedro Armendariz, and in the movie "The three huastecos" also directed by Ismael Rodríguez in which Pedro Infante had three characters star, receiving 6 nominations to Ariel.
With David Silva in "Corner drop"
in 1948 was co-starring role in "Esquina, down ...!" directed by Alejandro Galindo and the film won 2 Ariels and two nominations including one for the excellent performance of David Silva. This film is considered within the list of those that were considered as the 100 best Mexican films of all time. Has been considered a good urban comedy, but emphasizing the naturalness of David Silva in his role as the director's job, as well as dialogues and always cheerful atmosphere allowed the tape amused from beginning to end. And that meant that the tape was very popular in 1948 especially for the great discontent existed among the inhabitants of Mexico City by the constant changes in urbanization and the tape would address the matter in his favor.
Then in 1948 came the beginning of a tape that would be the biggest box office in Mexico, but that would be the beginning of a trilogy of dramas that probably never would imagine its creator Ismael Rodríguez magnitude would be. Because in reality the success already sensed that Pedro Infante would become a great idol and actor and singer since he directed her in "The three Garcia" and the sequel "The return of Smith."
with "We the poor" Ismael Rodríguez won the humble people, workers, artisans and carpenters, farmers, small traders, that is precisely the poor showing the tape. And it became a huge success that more than 50 years away still excited and making her shiver and cry with his drama of the three that make up the trilogy: "We the poor", "You rich" and "Pepe el Toro." And the characters remain in the memory of many, as Chachita or Esther White Pavón-sentimental partner Pedro Infante, as the blasting and the time he had released "Pepe el Toro" -1953 - and the public had cried for her tragic death while riding in a plane flown by Pedro Infante and which had to put a large metal plate on the front that you could see in his next film.
But not originally thought about making a trilogy because they did not exist in Mexico, because the only thing that came to produce was a sequel, or two films of the same issue as happened to "The three Garcia" and "return of the Smith" or "Full speed" and " What gave you that woman? ", all with Pedro Infante. But at the end of it, but seeing the box office hit of the remaining two decided to make changes to history-of Carlos González Dueñas-and changing the subject adapter scriptwriter Roger A. González, for the same film's director Ismael Rodriguez and Carlos Orellana.
The excellent and very natural performances of Pedro Infante, Evita Muñoz "Chachita" and Esther White Pavón, were and remain key to achieving that success and fondness for over 50 years of filmmaking, do not know many who seek it and those who have already seen it, rebuild it. Then in 1954
Fernando Soto "Butter" worked under the leadership of the great English director Luis Buñuel in "Illusion Travels by Streetcar" with Lilia Prado, Carlos Navarro in which he and "Butter" after getting drunk decided to steal the tram know it will be withdrawn from circulation because they are badly deteriorated. Luis Buñuel won public recognition to provide a quality comedy with a great sense of humor but also with ironies. However, some have considered it one of the tapes less important in the career of the filmmaker.
also worked on other successful and well known films like say I'm a womanizer, the seminarian, Two fighting cocks in the mouth I kiss you, Cartas a Eufemia, There is grief, pain, pain, You and the clouds, to River Bandits Cold, Let me touch the swallows, Lovesick, The Fair of San Marcos, we blame, if I do not gossip, Fox Avenger, here come the Argumedo, El mariachi sings, The Northern, The rights of children, Guadalajara in summer, will follow suit, The Life of Pedro Infante, guitar guitars weep, and as fighting cocks -1977 - that was the last in which he worked, 3 years before his death.
