This is a postcard published in 1967 to promote her but this very exact photo was published in November 1966 newspaper "La Rioja" (see below).

Very special thanks to @74paris for sharing the first photo that comes from ebay. Second photo comes from Biblioteca Virtual de Prensa Histórica.

Hi everybody!!

Finally it seems I have found the exact and correct date from this film!!

This was a musical film filmed in the first cinema studio made in Spain and shot in colour, before that, they were always used TV studios for films; and this was the first film for a TV program that used colour.

Well, after finding an interview with María Montez II from October 1966 where she is asked about this film (I promise I will post it here very soon!) and after finding this magazine where there is a big report made while filming, it is clear that it was filmed in Summer 1966 and it was aired at Spanish TV on the 2nd October 1966.

Here you have this link where it's explained (in Spanish) why this film was so important in Spanish TV History and in one of the comments, a user remembers when he was a child and watching it, and he says the day it was aired. the date wasn't clear enough because on Spanish TV channel website it says that this film is from 1964, but the date is wrong.

In the front cover of the magazine, we can see María II wearing a red dress and a green veil on her head.

On one of your posts, you linked a page of Tina’s cousin Maria Montez II which featured her filmography.

Hi T, thank you very much for your question,

in the first film you sent me “Un español a la corte del Rey Arturo”, I’m positive she is María Montez II. this film was released in 1966 and she was only 14 years old!!

About the secoond film you told me “15 horcas para un asesino”, I also think she is María Montez II although I had to check from another link as I couldn’t watch the film from this one. Here are the screencaps I did:

This film was released in December 1967 (EDIT: it was actually filmed in 1964, this was her first film and she was only 13…)

I see the ressemblance she and Tina had, however, I really don’t know the relationship of both of them, or if they really had any, I wish both could have done some modelling and filming together, but maybe they didn’t met…

Anyway, thank you very much for your question, I like to dig in Tina’s family :)

After watching both films and reading this:

- First thing you did?- Die!- But, how?- In the first scene that I shot for the movie “15 gallows for a murderer” I played the role of a dead girl. The same thing happened to my aunt and cousin Tina Aumont. It looks like it runs in the family.

We can say that “15 gallows for a murderer” was her very first film, filmed in 1964 but released in 1967 and "Un Español en la Corte del Rey Arturo" was filmes in Summer 1966.

This film was released in December 1967 when she was just 16 years old! It seems she didn’t age a bit…

I see the ressemblance she and Tina had, however, I really don’t know the relationship of both of them, or if they really had any, I wish both could have done some modelling and filming together, but maybe they didn’t met…
