An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 23 3/4" x 31 1/2" [60 x 80 cm]) (Learn More) Salto Mortale (literally translates to "Deadly Jump" or "Fatal Jump"), the 1931 E.A. Dupont French/German circus trapeze romantic love triangle melodrama (about three trapeze performers in a circus who perform an extremely dangerous stunt, and it is complicated greatly by the fact that the two male performers are both in love with the female, setting up the potential for murder in the air) starring Gina Manes, Daniel Mendaille, Leon Roger-Maxime (billed as "Roger Maxime"), Francois Viguier (billed as "Viguier"), and Alfred Manchard. Note that if this movie seems extremely familiar, it is with good reason! Not only did director E.A. Dupont previously have his greatest success with "Variety" (which had a different plot, but which was set in a circus and had three trapeze artists in a love triangle), but also this movie was simultaneously filmed in both this French version, and also in a German version (Dupont directed both, but the German version starred then-unknown to U.S. audiences Anna Sten and Anton Walbrook). Then, in 1953, there was a German remake of this movie, and in the same year, an English language version was made called "Man on a Tightrope". Then, just three years later, the entire plot was "borrowed" for the classic circus movie, "Trapeze", starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, and Gina Lollobrigida!. It appears this movie was never released in the U.S. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
