An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 29 1/4" [37 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) Fazil, the 1928 Howard Hawks Paris France romantic royalty clash-of-cultures melodrama ("Desire under the Palms and along Parisian Boulevards"; "Story by Pierre Frondaie"; about an Arab prince in love with a Parisian woman, and they can't be happy in either setting, because of the huge differences) starring Charles Farrell (in the title role as Prince Fazil), Greta Nissen, Mae Busch, Vadim Uraneff, and Tyler Brooke. Note that the movie was once considered lost, but has since been found. Also, apparently there was no natural chemistry between Farrell and Nissen, but director Hawks was able to get them to pretend in a way that fooled audiences. He signed Nissen to play the lead in his next movie, Howard Hughes' "Hell's Angels", but it was shot as a silent, and then it was decided that it would be re-shot as a sound movie, which eliminated Nissen due to her heavy Norwegian accent, and she was fired and replaced by Jean Harlow, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable find of 143 Argentinean posters from 1926 to 1929 that were recently discovered! They all measure approximately 14 1/4" x 28 1/4", which was one of the two main sizes created for Argentinean movie posters at that time (the other was a poster that measured 29" x 43"). It is likely that prior to this amazing find, there were only a small number of these posters known to exist in the entire world, and after these 143 are auctioned, it is unlikely that there will be many more discovered, even over the coming decades! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an Argentinean poster from the late 1920s, a time when virtually no movie posters from any country are known to exist! 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. There are a few minor patches of slight discoloration scattered in various areas (more so along the foldlines), typical of Argentinean posters of this time period. There are a few inches of separation in the lower right horizontal fold edge. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
