An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Sin Flood, the 1922 Frank Lloyd silent romantic disaster redemption melodrama (based on the play, "The Deluge", by Frank Allen and also based on the play, 'Syndafloden', "by Henning Berger"; about a group of people in a cafe located near a river that is under water level; there is a flood and the water level rises above the cafe's ceiling, and the walls are airtight, but the people inside the cafe, an odd assortment of completely different characters, know that they will drown in a short time; even though they are mostly "sinners", their impending death causes them to ask for forgiveness, and a promise to change their ways, but when the flood recedes, they all forget their vows!) starring Richard Dix ("as Billy Bear"), Helene Chadwick, John Steppling, Ralph Lewis, Darwin Karr, James Kirkwood, Otto Hoffman, and L.H. King. Note that in the original play, the ending had all of the people forgetting what they had said when they thought they were about to die. But in order to have a "happy ending", the movie makers changed the ending so that stockbroker Richard Dix and chorus girl Helene Chadwick continue to vow to change, and they rush off to get married! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this half-sheet is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile enough that rolling it might damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Note that the poster is not so fragile that it is "falling to pieces"! If it is handled carefully, it can absolutely be framed and enjoyed without any worry. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few creases and tears of varying lengths around the edges (at lower left, lower center and lower right and those have been backed with tape). There are a few faint smudges along portions of the blank borders and there is a 4" vertical scuff at center. There are a few lesser scuffs and faint smudges in portions of the image but it is otherwise in pretty nice condition especially given its age. Learn More about condition grades
