An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Key Book (8x10 keybook) 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) The Street of Sin, the 1928 Mauritz Stiller silent London England romantic melodrama ("Story by Josef von Sternberg and Benjamin Glaser"; Emil Jannings is a thug who falls for Salvation Army worker Fay Wray, but his sluttish girlfriend Olga Baclanova sabotages that relationship; the movie no longer exists, so it may be a masterpiece, but it is possible that director Stiller did not have control over the "final cut", so it may have had many studio imposed changes) starring Emil Jannings, Fay Wray (perhaps the sexiest Salvation Army lady ever seen in a movie!), Olga Baclanova, Ernest W. Johnson, and George Kotsonaros. Note that this was director Mauritz Stiller's final movie. He is best remembered for being the man who discovered Greta Garbo, and he brought her to Hollywood, but he clashed with the studios, and he was fired and he returned to Sweden, where he died soon after. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the still is glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely this was a key book still, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). The still was printed slightly off center, which causes the image to be at a slight angle. This was a somewhat common printing defect in vintage stills, and most collectors do not consider it a major defect if it is only slightly off center as it is in this case. Condition: very good to fine. The still was printed slightly off center and the left 1" of the still was trimmed off. Other than the above, the still is in pretty nice condition!
