Date Sold 2/12/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Local Theater Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) This Is the Enemy, the 1942 Yevgeni Chervyakov Russian World War II (WWII) military anti-Hitler war satire melodrama ("What does the enemy look like? .... How does he treat women and children? See Europe's little people holding the Hitler beast at bay!"; "The Soviet 'Mrs. Miniver'") starring Boris Chirkov, Vladimir Lukin, Boris Blinov, Aleksandr Melnikov and Ivan Kuznetsov. Note that this movie was to be a patriotic Russian movie (consisting of eight segments illustrating how awful the Nazis were, including a lead off segment called "The Hitler Beast", which was an animated cartoon by Russian animator Ivan Ivanov-Vano) created to stir up anti-Nazi sentiment in Russia. The final segment was a fantasy, with the spirit of Napoleon sending a telegraph to Hitler telling him what happened when HE invaded the Soviet Union! The movie was shown in the U.S. in 1942, and was given the appropriate tagline "The Soviet Mrs. Miniver", for that movie served the same purpose for English people as this movie did for Russian people. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster (and another one similar to it) were created by a local theater that was showing this Russian anti-Hitler pseudo-documentary in 1942. They took stills and cut them together and pasted them up on a stiff board and stenciled the title in the center. These are almost certainly one of a kind, and are the only items we have ever seen from this movie! This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
