Signed b/w movie still of a young and pistol-packing Ricardo Montalban leaning on a lamppost next to Glenn Ford
Photograph signed: "Ricardo/Montalban". B/w, 8x10. Still from the 1966 crime-drama, The Money Trap, directed by Burt Kennedy. Montalban played Pete Delanos in the film, which starred Glenn Ford (pictured) as police detective Joe Baron. The cast of the MGM film also included Elke Sommer, Joseph Cotten and Rita Hayworth. Montalban and Ford had previously appeared together in 1963's Love is a Ball. Montalban (1920-2009, born Ricardo Gonzalo Pedro Montalban y Merino in Mexico City) is perhaps best known for his role as the suave, mysterious Mr. Roarke on TV's Fantasy Island (1978-1984). Montalban, who played romantic leads in feature films in the 1940s and 1950s, starred in his first "Latin lover" role opposite Cyd Charisse in Fiesta (1947). His other film credits include On An Island With You (1948), Sayonara (1959), The Singing Nun (1966), Sweet Charity (1969), two Planet of the Apes films (1971, 1972), The Train Robbers (1973), Won Ton Ton, The Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976), Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (reprising his role on the TV series) and two Spy Kids films (2002, 2003). Montalban also appeared in a number of made-for-television movies as well as on Bonanza and Mission: Impossible in addition to Star Trek. In 1976, he won an Emmy for his portrayal of a Sioux chief in How The West Was Won. Fine condition.
