Netflix has neither of these movies. “San Pietro” is available on youtube. Link below.

Interesting bit in "Screen News" on the right. Mary Pickford, the old silent-film actress, plans to produce "Champagne for Everybody," to star "Armen Dariz," a Mexican actor formerly known as Pedro Armendariz. Pedro Armendariz, Jr., was a costar in many a Western movie under his full name!

The film doesn't show up on Google, so probably it never got off the ground.

Many fine old films are becoming lost.

I love Gunga Din

The only other reference I can find is here, where in 1947 Laraine Day is supposed to have been signed to star in the film--but the film isn't listed in her filmography, so I'm guessing it wasn't completed.

Thanks. It’s interesting to see the things that didn’t happen, so to speak.

“Armen Dariz” never did become a thing; instead, Pedro worked steadily under his real name.

He had a law degree from the University of California, according to Wikipedia.
