The Guitar of Gardel (Spanish:La guitarra de Gardel) is a 1949 Argentine-Spanish musical film directed by León Klimovsky and starring Agustín Irusta, Carmen Sevilla and Antonio Casal.
The film is based on the life of the tango star Carlos Gardel.
He does so in Buenos Aires, Mexico and Spain while he is reaping success, besides finding love.
Fotogramas magazine commented on the film (translated from Spanish): "Aged musical comedy built to the measure of the then famous Argentine singer Agustín Irusta.
The slight plot anecdote, the search for a guitar that would have belonged to Carlos Gardel, is a mere pretext for the usual repertoire of tangos and the occasional sevillana.
