Auction History Result 8h103 DOWN ARGENTINE WAY 2 color 8x10 stills '40 Don Ameche & Betty Grable dancing, Greenwood! Date Sold 6/28/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical Color 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 are "color-glos" stills. This was a special kind of color printing that the studios experimented with in the late 1930s and 1940s. It has a different effect than regular color printing, and color-glos stills were made in both an 8x10 and 11x14 format, primarily only for major releases. They are far more rare than regular color or black & white stills. Condition: good. The still pictured at top has substantial paper loss at left and small paper loss in the lower edge. The other still is in nicer condition. Learn More about condition grades
