An Original 1935 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 6" x 6 1/2" [15 x 17 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) The Merry Widow, the 1934 Ernst Lubitsch romantic musical comedy ("The world's greatest spectacle of music, love and laughter!"; written by Samson Raphaelson; based on book and lyrics by Victor Leon & Leo Stein and music by Franz Lehar, from his 1905 operetta; about a mythical tiny country in Europe, and their richest citizen, a widow, goes to Paris, and the king of the country is afraid she will never come back, so he sends the country's greatest lover to try to marry her and keep her in their country!) starring Maurice Chevalier, Jeanette MacDonald, Edward Everett Horton, Sterling Holloway, Una Merkel, George Barbier, and Minna Gombell. Note that there was a 1925 silent version of this musical (a neat trick!) directed by Erich Von Stroheim, and a 1952 version starring Fernando Lamas and a non-singing Lana Turner (whose singing voice was dubbed)!

Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
