Well that's plain silly. I know that there are still people in the US
who think Amsterdam is the capital of Copenhagen, but there is only
one Spain. It has a capital called Madrid and a lot of talented poster
design artists, they have a censure system which makes Spanish posters
easily recognizable. Further more it is thousands of miles away from
Argentina
I will add that Argentinean posters usually have rather low quality
paper and most of their art sucks.

my response to MOPO did not suggest that neither my description nor
Heritage's description was confusing. Emovieposter has a few
description listed as "spanish", those images cannot be enlarged
when his auctions end. So, the actual Spanish country might be
unknown, unless you are totally familiar with the images.
Perhaps, you may want to search other titles on Heritage and other
websites to see how the word SPANISH is used interchangeably with
specific spanish country poster, and make a report to us.
Those collectors more knowledgeable will probably acknowledge that
posters printed in Argentina were sent to other Spanish countries
for advertisement.
AND I WOULDN'T MIND HAVING THAT ARGENTINIAN SELLER, WHO IS A MEMBER
OF MOPO, explain why he constantly lists tons of one sheets in the
AMERICAN ORIGINAL CATEGORY ON EBAY---when they are clearly NOT
american, origial posters. an occasional listing of a great title
from another country is okay--even good--BUT EVERY WEEK???

Yes, just checked it and HA's description is definitely confusing.
It states that is Spanish, no mention of Argentina, while at the
bottom border "Industriua Argentina" is printed. At the same time i7
measures 27x41, while regular Argentinean onesheets are slightly
bigger than US onesheets and Spanish slightly smaller.
I can only imagine that this indeed is a Spanish language version of
the US onesheet but printed in Argentina or indeed they have it wrong.

While your comment has merit, i am providing the link to a recent
unrestored, exact post listed by Heritage, which described the same
poster in the title as SPANISH and doesn't even state "Argentina"
in the description. Rather, you have to look at their image to see
the word "ARENTINA" in their enlarged image.
http://movieposters.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=7014&Lot_No=89913
The important part of Heritage's description states:
"...unrestored Spanish one sheet features glamorous portraits
of the leads, essentially the same artwork as the American paper.
Condition issues include pinholes throughout, edge wear in the
lower border, a tear in the top border at the fold, fold wear with
extra folds in all borders, and a chip out of the bottom left
corner. Very Good/Fine. " (EMPHASIS ADDED)
Compare the 2 posters.............EXACT
I would NEVER suggest Heritage's description for this poster as to
country of origin is misleading. Did you call Heritage misleading?
And by the way, i do not recall you complaining about the seller
from Argentina that lists tons of one sheets on a weekly basis in
the wrong category of ebay.
Happy Holiday
