Auction History Result DOWN ARGENTINE WAY WC '40  Lease from Hershenson/Allen ArchiveAn Original Vintage Window Card Movie Poster (WC) (Learn More) Down Argentine Way, the 1940 Irving Cummings Argentina romantic musical comedy ("The musical extravaganza two continents 47have been waiting for!"; "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.
