"Down Argentine Way" was a critical and box-office success at the time of its release, and many critics proclaimed Grable to be the successor to Alice Faye. The film's success led to Grable's casting in "Tin Pan Alley" (1940), co-starring Faye. As the Lily sisters, both Grable and Faye received favorable reviews for their performances. and the film recouped its financial investment. Over the years, rumors have circulated that a rivalry existed between Grable and Faye during filming, but this has been said to be entirely untrue—both actresses denied all accusations of a feud, and each often expressed their admiration for the other. The two reportedly remained friends until Grable's death. After "Tin Pan Alley", Grable was teamed again with Ameche in the hit musical "Moon Over Miami" (1941), which co-starred up-and-coming actress Carole Landis.
