An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Mexican Movie Poster (measures approximately 27" x 37" [69 x 94 cm]) (Learn More)

Aguila o Sol (literally translates to "Eagle or Sun"), the 1938 Arcady Boytler Mexican musical comedy melodrama (about three abandoned babies who grow up to become friends and create a stage act) starring Cantinflas (in the title role as Polito Sol), Manuel Medel (Cantinflas and Medel are billed collectively as "Cantinflas y Medel"), Margarita Mora, Marina Tamayo, Luis G. Barreiro, Tona La Negra, and and Manuel Arvide. Note that this was Cantinflas' third movie, and his second where he appeared with Manuel Medel. After this, Cantinflas went out on his own (with the blessing of Medel), and he became a giant star! It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Mexican poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Mexican movie! Also note that we are also currently auctioning a different Mexican poster from this title (in a separate auction), which is also first release, and that poster does show Cantinflas, while this one does not. We have never auctioned either of these posters before!

Note that this linenbacked Mexican poster (and 98 others, which we are auctioning in 99 separate auctions) comes from a remarkable collection of Mexican posters which was assembled over many decades! We auctioned the first 81 of these in our August 2023 Major Auction, and those included many great rarities, and they sold for as much as $2,505, but there were also a number of great bargains that sold for well under the cost of linenbacking alone! NOW, we are auctioning an additional 99 posters from this amazing collection, which again includes many great rarities, including 22 Mexican posters with art by Ernesto Garcia Cabral! There will again be the chance for great buys in these honest no reserve auctions, and many of these posters may not be offered again for many years, if ever!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had darkening on the top and bottom folds and around the edges. It had some small tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds and some pinholes and small tears in the right border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
