Ahí está el detalle ("There's the rub", or literally "There's the detail", release internationally as Here Is the Point and You're Missing the Point in the United States) is a film of the golden age of the cinema of Mexico.

This is generally considered the best of Cantinflas' film and its last scene is based on the true events involving Mexican criminal Álvaro Chapa and his public declarations that inspired Cantinflas' form of speech for this film. The film was directed by Juan Bustillo Oro and it is based largely on Bustillo's experience as a pro bono lawyer at the Belén Jail. The film was completed in only three weeks and the only problems during filming were caused by Cantinflas' improvisation because of what he considered to be a poor-written script.

Awards

This film was produced before the creation of the Mexican Academy of Film. However, it took the tenth place among the 100 best movies of the cinema of Mexico, a list created by Mexican film experts.
