AHI ESTA EL DETALLE (1940) 11834

Description

Original Mexican 27x36 poster Folded Very Good
Charming poster of Mexican comic Cantinflas, a,k.a. Mario Fortino Alfonso Moreno Reyes, from a 1940 film AHI ESTA DETALLE. Cantinflas was well-known to Spanish-speaking audiences both in the United States and internationally. But he became an well-known overnight star in America when he appeared as Passepartout, David Niven's irrepressible sidekick in the 1955 event-film AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS. Chaplin praised him as one of the great comics and he was beloved for his peasant character, prone to mischief and with a loving heart. Many of the best Mexican posters from his film present a caricature of the character and it is no different here. The poster is frail, only in very good condition and we recommend linen backing the poster. But it's a very nice image of this great comic. Cantinflas died in 1993, but his career spanned decades and countries.
