Auction History Result 1d115 SAETA DEL RUISENOR Argentinean '57 Antonio Del Amo's Saeta Del Ruisenor, art of Joselito! Date Sold 5/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 29" x 43 1/2" [74 x 110 cm]) (Learn More) Saeta Del Ruisenor, the 1957 Antonio Del Amo Spanish comedy musical starring Joselito (former Spanish child star, arrested in 1990 in Angola for gun and drug smuggling!), Mari Carmen Alonso, Ivy Bless (billed as "Iby Bless"), Viky Lagos, Manolo Zarzo, and Archibald L. Lyall. Note that Joselito was born in 1943 as Jose Jimenez Fernandez, and in 1956, he was "discovered" and starred in a movie called "The Little Nightingale", where he played a child with an angelic voice, and he became a huge hit, and was nicknamed after the movie. He was 13 at the time, but his manager lied and told everyone he was 9! Over the next few years, he appeared in more movies, and his manager kept trying to conceal his true age, which naturally grew more difficult to do, and also kept him from girls by locking him in his dressing room! Eventually, he became a heroin addict and retired from movies. Years later, he tried to make a comeback, but he did not resemble the child he was and did not have the voice he had, so it was not successful. He lives a reclusive life in Spain, but thankfully he is clean and sober! This is one more example of a child actor whose success did not help him in his later life at all. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. There is a censor stamp at lower right. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well.
