Original Republic Pictures Three Sheet Poster (41x81) for the William Beaudine musical comedy, CUBAN FIREBALL (1951)-- starring Estelita Rodriguez, Warren Douglas, Mimi Aguglia, and Leon Belasco. Pretty Cuban-born entertainer Estelita Rodriguez began a show business career at age nine. She was signed early on to an MGM contract, but made no films for MGM. Later she caught the attention of Herbert J. Yates at Republic and was signed to a five year contact there. Her life was characterized by personal upheaval and a tempestuous marriage to actor Grant Withers. Screenwriter Charles Roberts, who had guided the career of another stormy player, Lupe Velez, fashioned this film for Rodriguez. She began calling herself simply Estelita, but her career never really took off. She died in Los Angeles in 1967. A three-sheet poster is a large format poster printed on two separate panels. This is theater used poster and is in average used condition and is graded as very good to fine. This poster would look very nice linen backed. Ask us about poster restoration services.
