Spanish title: Deliciosa Pecadora (Delicious Woman)Stars: Ann Margret, Tony Franciosa, Robert Coote, Yvonne Romain, Horace McMahonDirected by: George SidneyDistributor: Paramount Pictures

"A woman who is fascinating to the end; see her dance as never before"
If you can’t enjoy Ann Margret strutting her strutter about in this campy exploitation flick of the ’60’s, you’re either not male, [...]

The Pride and the Passion (1957)

Spanish title: Orgullo y PasionStars: Cary Grant, Frank Sinatra, Sophia LorenDirected by: Stanley KramerDistributor: United Artists of Mexico

Spanish title: MogamboStars: Clark Gable, Ava Gardner, Grace KellyDirected by: John FordDistributor: MGM Mexico
"A battle of the sexes… and a battle against the gorillas!"

Spanish title: Moby DickStars: Gregory Peck, Richard Basehart, Leo Genn, Orson WellesDirected by: John HustonDistributor: Warner Bros (for 20th Century Fox and United Artists)
"Before the shark… there was the whale!"
This is one of two different lobby card releases for this film, and this is definitely the inferior one. The odd choice of circling Gregory Peck’s [...]

Rhapsody (1954)

Spanish title: RapsodiaStars: Elizabeth Taylor, Vittorio Gassman, John Ericson, Louis CalhernDirector: Charles VidorDistributor: MGM Mexico
"A rhapsody of love, with music from the grand maestros!" 
This lobby card is light on original art, due to the use of several cut’n’paste photos, but what original paintwork there is sure didn’t miss Elizabeth Taylor’s cleavage.
Well done, sir.
