Melodies of America (Spanish:Melodías de América) is a 1941 Argentinian musical comedy film directed by Eduardo Morera and starring José Mojica, Silvana Roth and June Marlowe.[1] It was intended as an Argentine response to the Latin-American themed films produced by Hollywood as part of the Good Neighbor policy.
A group of Argentine filmmakers struggle to make a film with a Panamerican theme. They eventually manage to raise the finances for the film and hire a famous Mexican singer to star in it. On the boat down he meets and falls in love with a poor woman from Buenos Aires. Meanwhile, an American actress who has failed in Hollywood attempts to get a role in the production.
