Margarita Carmen Cansino aka Rita Hayworth: "Entierro de una de sus famosas películas en los Andes" con el fondo sonoro de "Bird's Lament" by MOONDOG

Moondog's corner o la Esquina de "PerroLuna"

La película "Gilda" significó para Rita Hayworth un incremento muy significativo en su popularidad, hasta el punto de que se colocó su imagen en la bomba atómica de pruebas arrojada por Estados Unidos sobre las Islas Bikini. Dado el carácter pacifista de la actriz, este hecho la indignó profundamente. También ocasionó una histérica expedición a la Cordillera de los Andes, a fin de enterrar allí una copia de la película, para que se conservase en caso de un desastre nuclear.

to be retained in the event of a nuclear disaster.

Moondog, born Louis Thomas Hardin (May 26, 1916 – September 8, 1999), was an American composer, musician, poet and inventor of several musical instruments. He was blind from the age of 16. In New York from the late 1940s until he left in 1972, he could often be found on 6th Avenue between 52nd and 55th Street wearing a cloak and Viking-style helmet, sometimes busking or selling music, but often just standing silent and still. He was widely recognized as "the Viking of 6th Avenue" by thousands of passersby and residents who had no idea that this seemingly homeless eccentric standing on "Moondog's corner" was a respected and recorded composer and musician.
