An Original 1950 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Spanish Movie Poster (measures 26 1/2" x 38 1/2" [67 x 98 cm]) (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.

The poster had paper loss at the top and middle crossfolds, with tears and areas of paper loss in the left of the top foldline and in the top quarter of the vertical foldline, and some tears and tiny paper loss on the rest of the foldlines, but not as many. It had pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges and some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
