This is the last team-up movie for Capulina (Gaspar Henaine Pérez ) and Viruta (Marco Antonio Campos). They were similar to Laurel and Hardy in their physical makeup, but their characters were somewhat different in their comedy dynamic. IMDb notes the two weren't talking to each other during this movie's filming when not in scene. After they split up, Capulina went on to make 58 movies solo (Wikipedia).
Capulina (Gaspar Henaine Pérez), dubbed The King of White Comedy (for his clean and simple humor), would often find himself in not water with vampires, mummies, and monsters.
I believe this is a Mexican lobby card for Jiang Tou, produced by the Shaw Brothers (they did Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires with Hammer Studios). The simplicity, even crudeness of the card is overshadowed by a powerful (albeit humorous, depending on your viewpoint) inset scene. If I had to caption this one I'd say "In your face! No, in your face!" An effective promotional lobby done with minimal artistic effort, this one yells at you to see this movie if only to find out what the hell that thing is he's wielding.
I love bats depicted on Mexican lobby cards. This lobby for Los Murcielagos (The Bats) appropriately shows bats. Angry bats. And an inset scene with a woman with long hair that angry bats love to get their tiny feet stuck in. Perfect.
Gordon Scott showed the most beefed up hunk of jungle muscle for Tarzan. A bit more chewed up, scarred up, and wild haired look would have completed the picture, but boy did he have biceps to spare.
Sure, Lord Greystoke may be swinging through the trees again, but let's not forget all the other movies of jungle action with the brawny King of the Apes.
The first movie in a series featuring the fictional luchador, Huracan Ramirez.
A humorous illustration of a body rolled up in a sheet, being whisked away at night, makes murder look rather charming in this Mexican lobby card for Una Senora Movida. The style of the illustration, zig-zag border, and inset scene give this lobby a sly Pink Panther-ish playfulness.
Looking at this Mexican lobby card for Swamp of the Lost Souls, you wouldn't think a gill man is prowling around or this is a horror western. Beautiful illustration and colors are marred by a too-large inset scene (and a boring one at that): would prefer a scene of the gill man.
A nice merging of separate dramatic illustrations in yellow and black makes this Mexican lobby card for El Ahijado De La Muerte eye-catching, capturing the adventure fantasy tone of this noir western well.
Here's the Mexican lobby card for the Columbia serial, Blackhawk: Fearless Champion of Freedom. Kirk Alyn, who also played the first screen Superman, stars in this 15 episode actioner.
Two things come to mind every time I see this Mexican lobby card for Captain Video, Master of the Stratosphere serial: The Honeymooners episode where Ralph and Norton attempt to share a television set, and THAT ray gun he's holding. I must have that ray gun!
