An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Mexican Movie Poster (measures approximately 27" x 37" [69 x 94 cm]) (Learn More) El Fanfarron (literally translates to "The Boastful"), the 1940 Fernando A. Rivero Mexican romantic cowboy western (about an outlaw and farmer who eventually become friends and brothers-in-law) starring Jorge Negrete, Maria Luisa Zea, Magda Haller, Emilio Fernandez, and Armando Soto La Marina (billed as "Chicote"). There is much confusing and conflicting information about this movie! It appears that it was made in 1938, but was released in the U.S. in 1940, and then finally had its first Mexican release in 1943. Apparently, its original title in 1938 was "Aqui llego el valenton", and its 1940 U.S. title was "El Fanfarron", and we have once auctioned a Mexican poster from that 1940 U.S. release (it has Los Angeles distributor information printed in the lower right). If any posters were created prior to that one, we have never seen them, and we have also never seen any posters from the 1943 Mexican release. 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. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Mexican poster, which is a "country of origin" poster for this Mexican movie, and it sold for $1,005! 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! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had pinholes around the edges and some pinholes near the top and middle crossfolds. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
