Date Sold 10/11/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Uruguayan Movie Herald (measures 5" x 7" [13 x 18 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Caravan, the 1934 Erik Charell romantic love triangle inheritance marriage musical ("'Live nowhere revel anywhere love... everywhere'"; "From a story by Melchior Lengyel"; screenplay by Samson Raphaelson; about a royal girl who must marry on a certain day or lose her inheritance, and she weds a gypsy, but she loves another) starring Charles Boyer, Loretta Young, Jean Parker, Phillips Holmes, Louise Fazenda, Eugene Pallette, C. Aubrey Smith, Charley Grapewin, Noah Beery Sr., and Dudley Digges. Note that Charles Boyer had been appearing in European movies since 1928, and he had two minor roles in U.S. movies in the early 1930s, but this was his first starring role in a U.S. movie! Also note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! There was also a French/German version of this movie, also made by Fox in 1934. Universal did the same thing with "Dracula" in 1931. They filmed the movie twice, once in English, and once in Spanish, with two entirely different casts, U.S. actors for the English version and mostly Latin actors for the Spanish version, obviously for release in Spanish speaking countries, and the same was done with this movie (the French/German language version starred Charles Boyer and Annabella).

Artist: Gerardo Important Added Info: Please note that Uruguayan heralds, like Spanish heralds, were printed in large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Uruguay, and they would have the backs of them overprinted or stamped with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Uruguay 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 Uruguay). We strongly suspect that most movies did not reach Uruguay until a year or two after their first release in other countries, but we can't say for certain. Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald (or the date of the movie's first release in Uruguay) unless we know from some other source that the later year was when the movie first played in Uruguay. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the same date as when the movie first played in its country of origin, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
