'Romantic Argentina'

This 1932 feature on Argentina is wonderful!  While it might make you nostalgic for simpler days (notice the lack of protestors), you'll probably be too busy laughing at its delightful corniness.  There's just something about a 1930s announcer who pronounces the country's name as if it were an individual adolescent (Argen-Teen) that's equal parts charming and outdated.

Thanks to my friend Melissa who's been disseminating this gem among our expat group!


I really would like to know what happened to Venito and his rainbow-colored pigeons.

  1. That was fantastic! I love the pronunciation of "buenos arse" and the crazy pigeon guy!
