Auction History Result 5m966 WEDDING MARCH candid 8x10.25 still '28 soldiers on parade before cathedral with movie banner! Date Sold 3/13/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Erich von Stroheim's The Wedding March, the 1928 Erich von Stroheim Vienna Austria romantic marriage melodrama ("The man you love to hate as he appears in The Wedding March"; about an impoverished aristocrat who falls in love with a poor inn-keeper's daughter but he will not marry her because he wants to marry into a wealthy family) starring Erich von Stroheim, Fay Wray, George Fawcett, Maude George, George Nichols, Zasu Pitts, Hughie Mack, Matthew Betz, and Danny Hoy. Note that amazingly, von Stroheim originally planned to have this be a "set" of two films which would be shown on consecutive nights (The Wedding March would be shown on the first night, and then the audiences were expected to return on the second night, to see the second film, a sequel to the first, with the same actors, called "The Honeymoon")! All of the footage for both films was shot but Stroheim's edit of the first film (The Wedding March) was over four hours long, and Paramount had it re-edited by someone else. Then, after The Wedding March received poor reviews and low box office totals, the sequel (The Honeymoon) was only released in Europe and South America, and movie paper from it is beyond rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great still, which measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm], is most unusual! It shows a scene from the movie, but on the top of the cathedral is a giant banner that reads "ERICH VON STROHEIM'S THE WEDDING MARCH"! We can only imagine that the producers put it there so that people knew that the movie was being filmed there, and to generate publicity for it. Obviously, they would have taken closer shots of the building in the movie so that the banner did not show, but it does show in this wonderful photo! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There is a word written in pencil in the bottom left blank corner and some very faint scuffing scattered throughout the still. Learn More about condition grades
