Mexican One-Sheets

The 1940’s was called the Golden Decade for Mexican Cinema. Mexicans loved their cinema and had elegant movie theaters in the big cities. Village folk saw movies in outdoor tent theaters that were set up by travelling gypsy camps. Mexico was making hundreds of movies a year. There was great exchange and investment between Hollywood and Mexico. Some Mexican actors like Cantinflas, Dolores del Rio, Pedro Armendariz and Sarita Montiel even worked in Hollywood.

By 1959, foreign competition, a devaluating Mexican currency and the nationalization of the domestic film industry by the Mexican government brought the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema to a crashing halt. The unexpected and early deaths of some of Mexico's major stars, like Pedro Infante, Jorge Negrete, and Pedro Armendariz also crippled the industry.

Mexican Lobby Cards:                               Rare and Collectible Mexican lobby cards were made for both American and Mexican movies. They are highly collectible, because they are more rare than American material. Mexico has always had only a fraction of the number of US theaters and they never produced the lavish publicity that the US studios produced. Lastly, Mexicans never had the cultural tradition of collecting movie memorabilia that the US had. We once found a bale of Mexican lobby cards in a chicken coop in the state of Guerrero. Mexican Lobby Cards are generally printed in 8 card sets. The standard size is 13" X 17", as opposed to the smaller American Lobby Card, which are 11" x 14". They were provided to the theater owner to decorate his lobby when he received a new movie reel. All 8 cards contain the same artwork, but each card has a different printed black and white photo of a scene in the movie. This inset photo is called a "still". We sell individual lobby cards; you do not need to buy an entire 8-piece set of any one movie title. Some "stills" are much more desirable than others, and thus there can be a range of prices for the same title lobby card. In Enamorada (1946), for example, a close up of Maria Feliz or Pedro Armendariz in the still costs more than a far away shot of Jaime Fernandez in the church. All cards are authentic, ranging in age from 1938 to 1968. Most are in very good to excellent condition, with only small pinholes in the corners. Lobby cards are shrink wrapped on cardboard. Except for very rare pieces, (including some silkscreened lobby cards with actual photos pasted on), prices range from $25 - $85. Send us your "Want List!"
