Mexican Spitfire RKO Series ( 1939 -1943 ) Australian Daybills



Mexican Spitfire At Sea ( 1942 )
Mexican Spitfire Sees A Ghost ( 1942 )
Mexican Spitfire's Blessed Event ( 1943 )


Mexican Spitfire RKO  film series ( 1939 -1943) known Australian daybills so far. 


The remaining five films from the series that I am seeking daybill images of are -

The Girl From Mexico ( 1939 )
Mexican Spitfire ( 1940 )
Mexican Spitfire Out West ( 1940 )
Mexican Spitfire's Baby ( 1941 )
Mexican Spitfire's Baby ( 1942 )  Bruce sold two daybills of this title in 1994 and 1995 and I found out today from Matt the images after a search cannot be located.

A long shot I know, but if anyone has any images of these titles they are welcome here. 

An observation of mine regarding the Mexican Spitfire At Sea  daybill, is that the Lupe Velez image looks more like Susan Hayward than Lupe.



Lupe Velez on the poster image, then the real life Lupe and then Susan Hayward. It it just me thinking this ? Have a close look at Lupe's images that appear on the other two daybills and you will see a better resemblance there. 

I am going to take a break for a while  from my plans of introducing as many that I can find images of for 1930s - 1940's RKO movie series, including Dick Tracy and Gildersleeve.

    I have amended a word. Originally I had typed the word Baby ( repeated the previous film title ) for the last title listed, which should have been Elephant.

     Now this should make sense Ves.

    Hi Hondo here is Girl from Mexico
  • Thanks Sven for this beautiful The Girl From Mexico (1939) image find,

    This first film was followed by a series of seven more Mexican Spitfire titled films. Images now available for 50% (4/8)) of the films in the series. Let's hope others will eventually surface as well.
