An Original Vintage Theatrical 6 3/4" x 9 1/4" [17 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Das Weib des Pharao (released in the U.S. as "Loves of Pharaoh" and also as "Pharaoh's Wife"), the 1922 Ernst Lubitsch German silent Egyptian epic (a wild story of the King of Ethiopia going to the Pharaoh of Egypt and presenting him with a girl to take as one of his many wives, but instead, the Pharaoh wants a beautiful slave of the King's, but she is in love with someone else, and an entire war breaks out between the two countries; the movie was released in different versions in different countries, and in most countries, it had an unhappy ending, but American audiences insisted on a happy ending, and Lubitsch provided it!) starring Emil Jannings (as the Pharaoh), Harry Liedtke, Dagny Servaes, Paul Wegener (as the King of Ethiopia; best remembered as the co-director and star of the three German expressionist movies starring "The Golem", which he made in 1915, 1917 and 1920; the Golem is widely regarded as one of the first movie monsters, and likely had a strong influence on American horror movies!), and Lyda Salmonova. Note that when this German movie was released in the United States, Lubitsch's first name was "Americanized" to "Ernest", probably to help hide that it was a non-U.S. movie, or to prevent people from thinking his name was spelled incorrectly as "Ernst"! Note that the early 1920s saw a number of these great Biblical epics! Cecil B. DeMille made The Ten Commandments in 1923, and Michael Curtiz (then Mihaly Kertesz) made Sodom and Gomorrah in 1922, and Moon Over Israel in 1924 (both in Germany), which caused him to be recognized by Hollywood, and that is when he moved there. 1922 also saw this movie from Ernst Lubitsch, and THIS is what caused him to go to the United States and become Paramount's top director, starting in 1923!
