An Original Vintage Theatrical Color 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Down Argentine Way, the 1940 Irving Cummings Argentina romantic musical comedy ("Story by Rian James and Ralph Spence") starring Don Ameche, Betty Grable, Carmen Miranda, Charlotte Greenwood, Kay Aldridge (billed as "Katharine Aldridge"), J. Carrol Naish, Henry Stephenson, Leonid Kinskey, Chris-Pin Martin, and The Nicholas Brothers (Fayard & Harold). Note that while this movie did very well at the box office in the U.S., the people in Argentina hated it, and it was not even allowed to be shown there! This was because of many errors within the movie, and they also felt that the presence of Carmen Miranda made it seem like Argentina was a tropical country, which it certainly was not! Also note that there is an oddity to this movie. The movie paper has a 1938 copyright date, but the movie was not released until October 1940! We know that at least 10 months were spent filming the movie, but that still would not account for that two year gap. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Also, note that this still of Betty Grable has a wonderful provenance! It was consigned to us by the granddaughter of the lady who ran the Betty Grable fan club in the 1950s, and she developed a close friendship with Ms. Grable, and she was given a large number of first release stills (some personally autographed), and we are auctioning 28 of this consignor's Betty Grable stills in this set of auctions (which includes almost all of the best unsigned ones they had). We will also have some stills from this same consignor in our auction of sets of stills that begins in 2 weeks, and we will have some signed stills from the same consignor in our next all-signed auction. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain great stills of this wonderful actress! Condition: very good. There is some faint staining on the back, but it has no effect on the front. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
