Interesting facts
Argentine Nights is a 1940 musical comedy film directed by Albert S. Rogell and starring The Ritz Brothers and The Andrews Sisters. It was the Andrews trio's first film.
Production
The Ritz Brothers appeared in Argentine Nights as part of a settlement with Universal after being dropped from Jules Levey's production of The Boys from Syracuse (1940). The film was meant to start production in May 1940, but the casting of the brothers meant the script had to be rewritten and shooting pushed back until June 10. The original songs were written by two teams: Sammy Cahn and Saul Chaplin, and Don Raye and Hughie Prince.
