An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 8 3/4" x 11 1/2" [22 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Pygmalion, the 1935 Erich Engel German romantic comedy (based on the classic 1913 George Bernard Shaw play that "My Fair Lady" was based on, about an upper-class gentleman and his bet that he can teach a lower class girl to speak proper English and thus be taken for a lady) starring Jenny Jugo (as Elisa Doolittle), Gustaf Grundgens (as Professor Higgins), Anton Edthofer (as Oberst Pickering), Eugen Klopfer (as Alfred Doolittle), Hedwig Bleibtreu, and Kathe Haack. Note that while this play had been hugely successful since its first production in 1913, it was not a surprise that it was not made into a silent movie, because so much of the plot revolved around speaking, but it was a surprise that it was not made into an English language movie until 1938, and by that point, there had been this German version (which was the first film adaptation), and a 1937 Dutch version! Also note that it seems odd to us that in this German version, the characters all retained their very English sounding names! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this German movie! Also note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the 8 pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are 4 pages you are not seeing. 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. The program has two punch holes in the center of the left of the cover and in the corresponding area on the interior pages, because the program was stored in a 2-ring binder.
