Notes: Checklist incomplete. Falcon Calvo released several sets under the name Estrellas De Cine.
Date info: One of the Falcon Calvo sets displays the name of one or more movies for the pictured star. Based on the movies listed and their release dates, we can close in on the date this set was issued. For Jean Harlow, the film Wife vs. Secretary (1936) is listed. For Johnny Weissmuller, a 1938 Tarzan film is listed. Harlow died in 1937. I am placing a date of 1937 on this set, though it could have been issued a bit later. Also, since there are several Falcon Calvo sets, it is very likely they were not all issued at the same time, but were probably issued over several years.
