Auction History Result 5p079 GREAT WALTZ British quad '38 Luise Rainer, Fernand Gravet, Miliza Korjus, Julien Duvivier Date Sold 9/2/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Waltz, the 1938 Julien Duvivier fictionalized biographical romantic dance musical ("Your beating heart, your pounding pulse will tell you it's the most exciting musical love story ever told!"; "Life is a romance of wine, women and song"; an incredibly loose biography of Johann Strauss, the Austrian "Waltz King") starring Luise Rainer (as Strauss' wife), Fernand Gravey (billed as "Fernand Gravet"; as Johann Strauss), Miliza Korjus (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Hugh Herbert, and Lionel Atwill. Note that this is the movie with the classic scene showing Gravet and Miliza Korjus (playing a woman Strauss had a long affair with, and in real life she was an opera singer who only appeared in a couple of movies) riding in the Vienna woods in a carriage and composing the classic "Tales of the Vienna Woods" off of the sounds they hear around them! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an incredibly rare pre-War British quad! Next-to-no quads survive from before World War II, due to the huge number of paper shortages that there were in England both during World War II and immediately afterwards, which caused almost all old paper to be recycled. Not only have I never seen this poster before, but it is one of a very small number of ANY pre-War British quads I have ever seen! Condition: good. There is some faint smudging and scuffing scattered through the poster (much of it seems to be a minor printing defect). There are some small tape repairs on the back of the borders.
