SOY UN GOLFO, 1955. Original folded Mexican (27 x 37” / 69 x 94 cm) Movie Poster starring Luz María Aguilar and Adalberto Martinez (better known as Resortes) who was a renowned Mexican actor and directed by Miguel Morayta. The title Soy un Golfo translates to “I’m a fool”, in this Mexican screwball Comedy film where a young woman who is the girlfriend of a humble and hardworking man, is met with the imposition of a suitor who boasts of a great fortune.
Mexican posters were printed on low quality, thin paper and are very fragile. We strongly recommend our linen backing service to stabilize these fine posters and prepare them correctly for framing. Left alone they will deteriorate and tear easily.
Artist: Ernesto Garcia Cabral (1890-1968)
This artwork was done by famous Mexican Art Deco artist and cartoonist Ernesto Garcia Cabral. Because of his immense talent, he started teaching drawing classes at the age of 12. He later became a caricaturist and had his work displayed on magazine covers and movie posters such as this one.
