An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 23 1/2" x 32 3/4" [60 x 83 cm]) (Learn More) Idylle au Caire (literally translates to "Romance in Cairo"), the 1933 Claude Heymann & Reinhold Schunzel German Egypt romantic musical comedy (the advertising for the movie shows images of the Sphinx) starring Renate Muller, George Rigaud, Henry Roussel, Spinelly, and Youcca Troubetzkov. This was a French version of "Saison in Kairo" (Cairo Season), made by UFA in 1933. Universal did the same thing with "Dracula" in 1931. They filmed the movie twice, once in English, and once in Spanish, with two entirely different casts, U.S. actors for the English version and mostly Latin actors for the Spanish version, obviously for release in Spanish speaking countries, and the same was done with this movie (the German language version also starred Renate Muller, but Willy Fritsch was her co-star). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There is water staining across the bottom approximately 6" of the poster. The left edge of the poster was perforated (if anyone knows why this was done, please e-mail us and we will post it here) and there are a few 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
