Auction History Result 5x749 DOWN ARGENTINE WAY 4 8x10 stills '40 great images of Don Ameche & Betty Grable! Date Sold 3/27/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (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. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these stills of Betty Grable have a wonderful provenance! They were 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 several of this consignor's sets of Betty Grable stills in this set of auctions. None of these are signed, because we will auction the signed ones in our auction of all autographed items. Condition: good to very good. There are some punch holes in one edge of the stills. They are either keybook stills, or someone could have just put those punch holes there. Learn More about condition grades
