An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Swedish Movie Poster (measures approximately 27" x 39") (Learn More) Jew Suss (released in the U.S. as "Power"), the 1934 Lothar Mendes English anti-Semitism historical melodrama (set in 1730 in the Jewish ghetto of Wurtenburg, Germany; about a brilliant Jewish man who rises from the ghetto to become the right hand man of the Prince, but they have a falling out, and he is persecuted for being Jewish, and at the end, he discovers he is not actually Jewish, but he states that he is Jewish anyway, which leads to his doom) starring Conrad Veidt (in the title role as Joseph 'Jew Suss' Oppenheimer), Benita Hume, Frank Vosper, Cedric Hardwicke, and Gerald du Maurier (a very distinguished British stage actor who appeared in a handful of silent movies from 1917 to 1920, and in a handful of sound movies in the early to mid 1930s; he is the father of author Daphne du Maurier). Note that the movie had a very limited release in the U.S. in 1934 as "Power", because it was perceived as anti-Semitic, even though it was actually very much the opposite (there is an amazing bit of dialog where a friend of Veidt's tells him that there is no more anti-Semitism, saying "But it's 1730! anti-Jewish sentiment is a thing of the past!", and Veidt replies "No, my friend, they will be against us in 1830, and in 1930, too")! Also note that this movie was remade by the Nazis in 1940 as "Jud Suss", and the story was twisted so as to make it one of the most vile anti-Semitic films ever made. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Lundqvist Condition: very good. There was a small piece of the top right blank corner torn off and someone re-attached it with two pieces of clear tape from the back. There is a circular water stain in the top right corner and a larger oval-shaped water stain in the upper right of the orange background. There is another oval-shaped water stain in the bottom right of the image, extending into the man's hair and his cheek. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition! This is the sort of poster that responds really well to restoration, as the water stains are quite light from the front (you mostly only notice them from the back of the poster), and quite likely will come out during the linenbacking process. After proper linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and there will be little restoration anywhere on the poster. Learn More about condition grades
