Tango Bar - Tuesday, May 4 at 7 PM Free and open to the public Embassy of Uruguay 1913 I Street NW, Washington, DC, 20006 Killed in a plane crash in June of 1935, musical star Carlos Gardel was well on his way to becoming a legend when his final starring feature, Tango Bar, was released in the U.S. Though well past middle age, Gardel convincingly plays an amorous young cabaret vocalist named Ricardo, who falls in love with gorgeous dancer Laura (Rosita Moreno). To rescue the heroine from a gang of crooks, Ricardo puts his own life on the line, nearly losing same in the process. The villain, played by Enrique de Rosas, is a government official, reflecting the "outlaw" status of the tango in much of South America. Though filmed in Spanish and set in Argentina, Tango Bar was filmed in its entirety in Paramount's East Coast studios at Astoria, Long Island.
