rif. WALTER-FILM000149No binding. Fine. Fine Art Print Vintage original 11 x 14"" 28 x 35 cm. lobby card USA. Marlene Dietrich Sam Jaffe John Loder C. Aubrey Smith Gavin Gordon dir: Josef von Sternberg; Paramount. One of the finest lobby cards for one of film history's most truly bizarre movies. Perhaps this was Sternberg's answer for Dietrich to her great competitor Greta Garbo's Queen Christina. While that film attempted to tell an accurate historical account of a historic queen this film was a major experiment in style. The basis was the story of Princess Sophia of Germany who is taken to Russia to marry half wit Grand Duke Peter played with aplomb insanity by Jaffe. The Princess is repulsed by him finds love with a Russian soldier and produces a son. No one asks questions and she moves on to become Catherine the Great. Much of the film was silent and drenched in Gothic sets set pieces and artifice shot through diffusions of all kinds and lit in expressionistic ways which have never been duplicated. It became an homage by Sternberg who was by now obsessed to Dietrich. Dietrich is swathed in a fur creation by Travis Banton. There are a few scattered pinholes to an otherwise perfect card with vibrant colors FINE. unknown books
rif. WALTER-FILM000182No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 14 x 36"" 35 x 91 cm. insert poster USA. James Stewart Grace Kelly Wendell Corey Thelma Ritter dir: Alfred Hitchcock; Paramount. The story of an apartment-bound man who takes an interest in the many neighbors living in the building behind him including the revelation of a murder. An interesting aspect which helped create the world in which James Stewart's character lived is that all of the sounds were ""live"" -- all dialogue the sounds of people autos and all music cues were sounds which were live within the story. Just another wonderful Hitchcock touch. Minor border wear repaired and touched-up without necessitating tape or backing. Insert appears to have never been folded NEAR FINE. unknown books
