Date Sold 12/31/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Cradle Song, the 1933 Mitchell Leisen romantic religious nun convent melodrama ("The new thrill of the screen"; "A new star to thrill ten million hearts!"; "When her eyes open... ten million hearts will thrill!!"; "To see her once is to remember her always!"; based on the Spanish play by Gregorio Martinez Sierra; about a group of nuns who raise an orphan girl, and when that girl grows up, she herself helps the nuns raise a baby; when that baby grows up, she wants to leave the convent, and the woman who spent her entire life there, who was her surrogate mother, reluctantly lets her go) starring Dorothea Wieck, Evelyn Venable, Guy Standing, Louise Dresser, and Kent Taylor (in his fourth credited role!). Note that this was the only film version of what was a very popular and famous Spanish play, and Paramount apparently had huge hopes that Dorothea Wieck (a Swiss actress who had appeared in a bunch of German movies, including the lesbian cult classic "Madchen in Uniform") might be another Greta Garbo, but apparently the movie and Miss Wieck did not catch on with American audiences, and she appeared in one other American movie, and then returned to Germany where she made movies for many years. 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 extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: very good. The poster has a few tiny pinholes around the edges and there is some discoloration at upper right that affect only the blank border. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
