Date Sold 6/4/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 6 Original 1929 Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Cards (LCs; measure 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Casanova (released in the U.S. in 1929 by MGM as "Loves of Casanova" and by Universal as "Prince of Adventurers"), the 1927 Alexandre Volkoff French silent romantic biography melodrama (a fictionalized biography of the legendary lover, showing his trip to Russia where he romanced Catherine The Great, and his subsequent return to Italy) starring Ivan Mozzhukhin (billed as "Ivan Mosjoukine"; in the title role as Casanova), Suzanne Bianchetti (as Catherine the Great), Diana Karenne, Jenny Jugo, Rina De Liguoro, and Olga Day. Note that we have previously auctioned a rotogravure one-sheet from this movie that had the title "Loves of Casanova" and was distributed by MGM. Yet these lobby cards have the title "Prince of Adventurers" and has Universal as the distributor! We strongly suspect that there was a distribution deal made between the producers of the movie and Universal, and that it fell apart at the last minute, after posters (or at least these lobby cards!) were created, but before it made it to theaters, and that then a new deal was made with MGM (this would also explain why two years went by between the making of the movie and the U.S. release.) 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. Condition: very good to fine. The cards have pinholes in the corners. Some of the cards have darkening in part of the borders. Otherwise, the cards are in nice condition (especially considering their age). Please look closely at our super-sized images to get an exact sense of the condition of each card. None of them have had any restoration. Learn More about condition grades
