Viruta y Capulina
Encyclopedia
Marco Antonio Campos and Gaspar Henaine performed together as Viruta y Capulina, a Mexican
comedy duo in film
that first appeared in the movie Se los Chupó la bruja
, in 1958.
At first they started imitating the style in comedy of Laurel and Hardy thanks to their physical resemblance to them, with time they developed their own characteristic comedy style.
The duo prolifically advanced their career which reached its height during the mid-1960s. A series of disputed disagreements followed in the late 1960s: Campos thought that the larger salary Henaine was paid was simply unjust. These events led to the duo's last film appearance together in El camino de los espantos (1967).
