Das Blaue Licht (released in the U.S. in 1934 as "The Blue Light"), the 1932 Leni Riefestahl German mystery fantasy adventure melodrama (a heavily symbolic mystical story of a girl who lives in the mountains, and there is a cave that is filled with crystals which emit a blue light, and the light causes men to try to climb the mountain to reach the cave and they fall to their deaths which makes the villagers label the girl a witch because she can visit the cave without dying) starring Leni Riefenstahl, Mathias Wieman, Beni Fuhrer, Max Holzboer, Martha Mair, and Franz Maldacea. Note that this movie is extremely historically significant! Leni Riefenstahl had been an actress in German movies since 1926, but after gaining notice in movies such as "The White Hell of Pitz Palu" in 1929, she was given the chance to both direct and star in this movie in 1932. Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels were very much impressed by the movie, and it was because of this movie that she was later hired by them to make first "Triumph of the Will" and then "Olympia".

Artist: Erik Frederiksen
Important Added Info:
Note that the art on this poster is signed "Erik F.". The artist's full name is Erik Frederiksen, and we have been told by a Danish poster expert that he not only drew movie posters in Denmark in the 1930s but he also drew travel posters. We had never seen any art by this artist prior to discovery of the Danish posters we are auctioning, and it appears that few Danish collectors or dealers had seen them either. Certainly he must be regarded as one of the premier poster artists of the 1930s, but he is not known today, likely because of the extreme scarcity of his posters.

Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. It has pinholes in the corners and a few creases and tiny tears in the left, right, and bottom borders. There are six small tears in the top border, three of which just enter the background. Other than the above, the poster is in really nice condition!
