An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 7 1/4" x 10 1/2"; 4 pages) (Learn More)

Le Silence est d'Or (released in the U.S. in 1948 as "Rene Clair's Man About Town"), the 1947 Rene Clair French/U.S. France romantic love triangle comedy ("Amazing New Film Idea!"; "A story of love in Paris... Enacted in French... Told in English by Maurice Chevalier"; "The Grand Prize winner of the 1947 Brussels world film festival") starring Maurice Chevalier ("'The Man About Town'...as M.C."), Francois Perier, Marcelle Derrien (billed as "introducing Marcelle Derrien"), Dany Robin, and Raymond Cordy. Note that master French director Rene Clair had gotten his start in silent movies in the late 1920s, and he felt that sound and modern inventions were not necessarily an improvement, and he felt tremendous nostalgia for the "good old days" (and also apparently disliked the "French new wave", which was just beginning) and he made this very sentimental movie set in the early 1900s, with Maurice Chevalier playing a silent filmmaker in love with a much younger woman who is herself in love with a young man. The movie was very oddly released in the United States, where, instead of subtitling the movie, the actors still spoke in French, but Chevalier narrated the movie over them, explaining what they were doing!

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of all the pages of this 4-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and the interior two pages together). This way, you see the entire program, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended).

Condition: very good to fine.
