Mario Montenegro topbills Sampaguita’s war picture

REMEBER WHEN? - Danny Dolor - The Philippine Star

January 13, 2013 | 12:00am

Every now and then, Sampaguita produced action-packed war pictures. One of them was Karugtong ng Kahapon (1961), topbilled by LVN actor Mario Montenegro and directed by Eddie Garcia.

â€˜And the screen explodes into thunderous fury,â€™ the blurb read, showing Mario wielding a gun and fighting Japanese soldiers.

Sharing stellar billings with Mario were Rita Gomez, Ric Rodrigo, Marlene Dauden, Carlos Salazar and Rosa Mia.

In the â€™50s and early â€™60s, Mario was dubbed Brown Adonis and cast in drama and costume pictures, mostly for LVN. â€” RKC
