An Original 1932 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (4 pages; measures 4 1/2" x 6" [11 x 15 cm]) (Learn More) Frankenstein, the classic 1931 James Whale Universal monster horror thriller ("The monster that terrorized the world!"; "The Man Who Made a Monster"; "Warning! The monster is loose!"; "Based upon the Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley Story"; "Adapted by John L. Balderston from the play by Peggy Webling"; the first of the Universal "Frankenstein" movies, and regarded as one of the finer movies of any genre, in large part due to the marvelous acting of Boris Karloff, and the marvelous direction of James Whale!) starring Colin Clive (as Dr. Herbert V. Frankenstein), Boris Karloff (as the Frankenstein monster), Edward Van Sloan, Fredric Kerr, Mae Clarke, Dwight Frye (extremely memorable as Fritz), and John Boles NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was released in Spain in 1932 (the following year after the U.S. opening), the Spanish distributor changed the title to "El Doctor Frankenstein", and on the Spanish poster, they used an image of the monster taken from the 1931-32 Universal campaign book, which was not used on any U.S. poster. The Spanish herald has a montage of images, and one of them is the artwork of the lumbering monster seen on 1960s Spanish re-releases. Also note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it. Condition: fair to good. The herald was in a binder with two punch holes in the left of all pages, and someone performed amateur restoration to three of the four holes (not the one in the bottom left of the front cover). There is also a piece of very old tape in the center of the bottom border that has stained that area on the front and back. The right 1/2" of the back two pages was folded back, and there is a tape stain in the bottom left corner of the back cover (and tiny surface paper loss next to it where the tape was roughly removed) Learn More about condition grades
