An Original 1922 Vintage Theatrical Promotional Movie Brochure (measures 7 3/4" x 10 3/4" [20 x 27 cm] when fully folded; 4 pages) (Learn More) L'Atlantide (released in the U.S. in 1922 as "Missing Husbands"), the 1921 Jacques Feyder French silent fantasy horror melodrama ("This is Antinea her beauty maddened men in 'Missing Husbands' the story that made Paris gasp!"; based on the novel by Pierre Benoit; about French soldiers who find the mythical lost civilization of Atlantis, and it is ruled by a queen who takes lost travelers as her lovers and then mummifies them!) starring Jean Angelo, Stacia Napierkowska, Georges Melchior, Marie-Louise Iribe, and Abd-el-Kader Ben Ali. Originally a best selling book by Pierre Benoit published in 1919, Jacques Feyder turned it into this very expensive and very successful French movie in 1921, with an elaborate recreation of Atlantis (filmed in the Sahara Desert). In 1932, G.W. Pabst wanted to remake it, and his studio felt that the best way to recoup the enormous costs would be to film it simultaneously in THREE languages (German, French, and English)! The 1932 German version is called "Die Herrin von Atlantis", the French version is called "L'Atlantide", and the English version is called "The Mistress of Atlantis", and Brigitte Helm starred in all three of those versions.

Important Added Info: Note that this really cool promo brochure is from when Metro Pictures released this French movie in 1922 in the U.S. They re-titled it "Missing Husbands" and gave it the tagline "The Picture that made Paris Gasp!", and described it as "the most ambitious screen achievement yet to come from France". It is a folded brochure that opens up in several ways (see our images). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
