Date Sold 9/6/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably early 1940s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Mexican Movie Poster (measures 26 1/2" x 37" [67 x 94 cm]) (Learn More) No Te Enganes Corazon (released in the U.S. as "Don't Fool Yourself, Dear"), the 1937 Miguel Contreras Torres Mexican (about a dying man who spends all of his money on one last fling; this has been the plot of many movies, including a section of "Grand Hotel" from 1932; in this one, the dying old man finally stands up to his wife and helps everyone solve their problems, in addition to him spending lots of his money!) starring Sara Garcia, Carlos Orellana, Manuel Buendia, Matilde Corell, and Cantinflas (in a very minor role, when he was still "Fortino Mario Alfonso Moreno Reyes", in his very first movie). Note that this is an important movie, but only because it was legendary Mexican comedian Cantinflas' very first picture (he appears in five brief scenes, and he is not a comedian in them). The movie would likely mostly be forgotten, EXCEPT that two years later, after a few other minor appearances, he made a short in 1939 with his comic character "Cantinflas", and there were several more shorts, and then after a feature film, Ahi esta el detalle ("You're Missing the Point"), his character quickly became famous throughout Mexico (similar to Chaplin's "The Tramp"). At that point, some clever Mexican promoter re-released THIS movie as a "Cantinflas" movie, even though that was completely deceptive in every way! We have auctioned posters from two different re-releases of this movie (which we believe to be from the early 1940s and late 1940s), but we have never seen a poster from the first 1937 release of this movie (and even if one turned up, Cantinflas would surely not be billed or pictured, because he was such a minor character in it). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Mexican movie, is not only not from the first release, but it is incredibly deceptive! As noted above, this was likely from when the movie was re-released in the very early 1940s, when Cantinflas quickly became a major star in Mexico. We can't begin to imagine how moviegoers reacted when they went into the theater thinking they would see a Cantinflas movie, and then seeing a movie that he was barely in! There is a tip off on the poster, which is that under his image there is a tagline that says "In the movie that made him a star", but of course, that is still very deceptive! Also, as noted above, we have never seen a first release poster from this movie, and it would surely not have Cantinflas billed or shown. Finally, note that we also have a second re-release poster from this movie that we believe to date from the late 1940s, again deceptively billing Cantinflas, and that is in a separate auction. Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away last year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has darkened and has some paper loss around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
