[Tango-L] Help... historic footage

[David Hodgson]

That is Funny. I really enjoyed the clip, always good to see Guardel. I kept
looking at the two guys playing guitars in the background. I kept thinking
(in the format that has been given).

Lon Chaney in the original film of Phantom of the Opera + General Zombies
from night of the living = Background guitar players for Carlos Guardel.

That is very cool, and a nice piece of history you have shared would love to
see more.

I did keep wondering if I were watching an Argentine clip of Seven Brides
for Seven Brothers....

Here a delightful clip:

The clip here belongs to a film called "Con la música en el alma" from 
1951. This was the last film that Francisco Canaro produced after 16 
years.. Most of his films were probably successful (there is no data about 
their box office performance, probably on purpose) but he always said that 
he always lost money. However, many of them are good classics.

Unlike all of the previous ones, in this one he also appears as an actor 
(before and after this production, he always appeared as himself). 
Although Canaro stopped his activity as producer, and renting his studios 
to others, in no way this is a bad film.

This clip can be considered as politically incorrect by some people in the 
United States. However, the original intention was not to make a ridicule 
but to pay a homage to the black community of Buenos Aires of the 1880s 
which gave their lives in the civil wars and had to endure the yellow 
jack. In the early fifties, some artists (and Alberto Castillo in 
particular) were recovering their musical influence:
