Date Sold 6/12/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1947 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage German Film Program (measures 5 3/4" x 8" [15 x 20 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Two Years Before the Mast, the 1946 John Farrow high seas sailor swashbuckling pirate adventure thriller ("The world famous novel on the screen at last!"; "Based on the novel by Richard Henry Dana Jr."; about a man who is shanghaied onto a ship run by a sadistic captain; based on the true story which was turned into a novel by Richard Henry Dana, the man who was shanghaied) starring Alan Ladd, Brian Donlevy (as Richard Henry Dana), William Bendix, Barry Fitzgerald, Howard da Silva, Esther Fernandez, Albert Dekker, Luis Van Rooten, and Darryl Hickman. Note that Esther Fernandez was a popular Mexican actress who had never appeared in an American movie, and could barely speak English. But she was signed to appear in this movie (because they needed a pretty woman in a cast of all rough men), and she made this sole appearance, and then returned to Mexico. However, when this movie was released in an English/Spanish version for Spanish speaking audiences, Fernandez was bumped up to second billing under Alan Ladd! This was likely done to please Latin American audiences who were a major demographic during World War II. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that immediately after World War II, some U.S. movies played in Germany in special limited showings that were for American soldiers stationed there. They created "Filmpost" programs for these special showings. A short while later, those same movies had their first regular release in Germany, and "regular" programs were created. This program is from the first "regular" release of this movie in Germany (there was an earlier showing for American soldiers). Also note that we have provided an image of all the pages of this 4-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and the interior two pages together). This way, you see the entire program, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: good. There is a tape repair on the back cover and the program was folded down the center. Learn More about condition grades
