Melodies of America (Spanish:Melodías de América) is a 1941 Argentinian musical comedy film directed by Eduardo Morera and starring José Mojica, Silvana Roth and June Marlowe.[1] It was intended as an Argentine response to the Latin-American themed films produced by Hollywood as part of the Good Neighbor policy.
