Pepe is a 1960 movie starring Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno in the title role, directed by George Sidney. A multitude of cameo appearances attempted to replicate the success of Mario Moreno's American debut, Around the World in Eighty Days, produced by Mike Todd in 1956.

Mario "Cantinflas" Moreno is a hired hand, Pepe, employed on a ranch. A boozing Hollywood director buys a white stallion that belongs to Pepe's boss. Pepe, determined to get the horse back, decides to take off to Hollywood. There he meets stars like Jimmy Durante, Frank Sinatra, Zsa Zsa Gabór, Bing Crosby, Maurice Chevalier and Jack Lemmon in drag as Daphne from Some Like It Hot. The film failed to achieve the success of Cantinflas' previous American film and was roundly criticized by film critics. Despite the appeal of seeing the numerous cameos, the film has not been released on home video.
