Date Sold 4/29/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 7 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Stills (Learn More) Seven Faces, the 1929 Berthold Viertel romantic melodrama (based on the short story 'A Friend of Napoleon' by Richard Connell; Muni plays the elderly caretaker of a wax museum in Paris, and the museum goes broke and they auction off the wax figures, and Muni is so in love with the Napoleon figure that he steals it and is discovered and tried for the crime; the most interesting part of the movie is an extended dream sequence, where Muni plays the part of six of the museum's wax figures, Napoleon, Don Juan, Svengali, Franz Schubert; Diablero, Willie Smith [a black African American], and Joe Gans [a boxer]) starring Paul Muni, Marguerite Churchill, Lester Lonergan, Russell Gleason and Gustav von Seyffertitz. Note that Muni was 33 years old when this movie (his second ever) was made, but he had specialized in playing old men in the theater, and this entire movie was a chance for him to show off his amazing acting and make up skills. 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 one of the stills shows eight close ups of Muni's eyes, one as he naturally appeared, and the other seven as he appeared in the seven characters he played in this movie. Note that the still in the top left of our image shows Paul Muni as Napoleon, and the still in the top right shows him as Don Juan. Finally, note that each of the stills has two punch holes in the center of the top border. It is possible these were key book stills, although they do measure 8" x 10", and have no linen tape on the back of the holes, common to many such key book stills. Condition: very good. Each of the stills has two circular holes punched in the top , but are otherwise in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
