An Original 1929 (from a Japanese double bill release of this movie) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Japanese Movie Poster (measures 11 3/4" x 23 1/4" [30 x 59 cm]) (Learn More) The Cossacks, the 1928 George W. Hill silent Russia romantic war melodrama (based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy; about the son of the roughest, toughest Cossack in Russia, who is a peaceful, cheerful young man, and everyone thinks he is a coward, even his girlfriend!; the people have him wear an apron to show that he is like a woman, and he suddenly snaps, and becomes a fearsome fighter!) starring John Gilbert, Renee Adoree, Ernest Torrence, Nils Asther, and Paul Hurst 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 pre-War Japanese poster. It advertises a double bill showing of The Cossacks together with "The Man and the Moment", a 1929 movie starring Billie Dove and Rod La Rocque, but because the artwork is solely from "The Cossacks", we are only listing it as from that movie. Since The Man and the Moment is from 1929, we know the poster can be no earlier than 1929, and is likely from that year. Note that virtually no Japanese posters from before World War II survive!
