An Original Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 3 3/4" x 5 1/2" [10 x 14 cm]) (Learn More) Dark Journey, the 1937 Victor Saville English World War I (WWI) romantic spy espionage thriller (based on the play by Lajos Biro; loosely based on the real life affair of couturiere Louise Cheruit and a high-ranking German officer during World War I; about a German spy who becomes romantically involved with a Frenchwoman who may be a spy for France, or may be an informer on France, or may be a double agent!; produced by Alexander Korda for London Films) starring Conrad Veidt, Vivien Leigh, Joan Gardner, Anthony Bushell, and Ursula Jeans. Note that this role got Vivien Leigh much attention, and most fans consider it her best movie from before Gone with the Wind, and it likely greatly helped her win the role of Scarlet O'Hara. Conrad Veidt on the other hand played the hero, but after this, he would become the ultimate villain, in movies like Casablanca and Thief of Bagdad! Note that, for unknown reasons, the first release movie paper on this title (which was through United Artists in both England and the U.S.) is incredibly rare! The movie was re-released in the U.S. in 1947 by Devonshire Films, and even that movie paper is incredibly rare! If anyone knows more about why this would be, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
