El baisano Jalil (Eng .: The Farmer Jalil ) is a Mexican film from 1942. The director of this comedy was Joaquín Pardavé , who also wrote the script and also played the lead role of Jalil.
The aristocratic Guillermos family got into economic difficulties. In order to secure their livelihood, the family borrows money from the Lebanese immigrant Jalil, but treats him and his family not as equals but as socially inferior. Jalil's son, Selim, falls in love with Guillermo's daughter Marta, who, however, does not respond to his recruitment. Guillermo manages to clean up his family's finances by selling a mine. At that moment Marta shocks the family with the admission that they have fallen in love with Selim after all. At the end of the film, Jalil confesses to his wife that he was the buyer of the mine.
El baisano Jalil had its premiere on December 3, 1942. The film was produced by the Filmex company , with Gregorio Walerstein as the producer . CLASA studios and laboratories were used for shooting and post-production . When El baisano Jalil was published in Spanish in the United States in 1944, Clasa-Mohme took over the distribution. The title of the film plays on Mexican clichés about immigrants from the Middle East, who are credited with pronouncing the "p" in "paisano" like a "b". El baisano Jalil was ranked 85th on Somos' list of the One Hundred Best Mexican Films, published in 1994.
