Johny Tolengo, el majestuoso is a 1987 Argentine film. It had a high success, and helped the actor Juan Carlos Calabró to become a highly recognized comedian.[1]
The character of Johnny Tolengo, a Buenos Aires socialite similar to Isidoro Cañones, was created in the TV show "Calabromas". In the movie, the character is a famous singer, dealing with extortions from the mafia. The movie released a soundtrack as well, sung by Calabró. Some songs like "Qué Alegría" or "Mis amigos los pibes" were adopted by soccer teams fans.
Johnny Tolengo (Calabró) is a tremendously successful and "glamorous" singer, idolized by children. Upon his return from the United States, where he achieved the remarkable feat of winning the Oscars, Grammy, and Tony awards in a single season, he finds himself targeted by the mafia's extortion plot, coercing him into signing with a dubious record company. This sets off a chain of unforeseen adventures for Tolengo.
