12 comedians in one big movie

Yes, the 1962 big movie Puro Labis, Puro Kulang starred 12 comedians.

Count ’em: Pugo, Dely Atay-Atayan, Soto, Aruray, Bayani, Monang, Toto, Menggay, Sano, Metring David, Canuplin and Pachuchi. As expected, it was the most laughter-filled picture of the year, with the comedians playing the ‘pasiklabs’ and the ‘atsays.’

Also starring in Puro Labis, Puro Kulang were the loveteam of Mina Aragon and Eddie Fernandez, billed ‘in his first starring role.’ And Leroy Salvador, who also wrote and directed the comedy.

Aside from laughter, the picture had its share of dancing and singing, with choreography by Al Quinn and music by Paquito Toledo, under the supervision of Lou Salvador Sr., producer and director of stage shows.
