An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 14 3/4" x 40" [37 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Barbarian (released in some European countries as "Man of the Nile" and in other English-speaking countries as "A Night in Cairo"), the 1933 Sam Wood Egypt romantic love triangle interracial romance adventure thriller (a wild story of a pretty English visitor to Egypt who is engaged to a rich man, but an Arab porter tries to romance her, and then virtually kidnaps her and tries to force her to marry him; after many adventures, she leaves him at the altar and prepares to marry her rich Englishman, but the Arab porter shows up at her wedding and starts singing, and she realizes she truly loves him, and she goes off with him, and the movie ends with them floating on a boat on the Nile, and she confesses that she is secretly half Egyptian herself, and he says he is secretly a Prince and he wouldn't care if she were half Chinese!) starring Ramon Novarro, Myrna Loy, Reginald Denny, Louise Closser Hale, C. Aubrey Smith, and Hedda Hopper. Note that this was a pretty daring and racy pre-Code movie, but the producers softened the interracial romance aspect by having the girl turn out to be half Egyptian and the guy turn out to be royalty!

Important Added Info: Note that this is the ONLY example of this daybill we have ever auctioned! It was first consigned to us 19 years ago, and then it was reconsigned to us a decade ago, and not that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has paper loss in three corners and tears in the borders. There is small paper loss in the lower left blank border above the larger paper loss. There is a water stain in the right of the top play dates area. There is a 7" vertical tear in the right of the bottom border, with tiny paper loss along the tear. There are two brown stains in the bottom right white background area next to the tagline. There are horizontal creases and some faint water stains in the bottom 5" of the poster. It is very fortunate that almost every one of the above defects are in the blank borders (just a small amount of writing is affected). It would be fairly easy for any talented restorer to back this poster, and afterwards, it would display great! Learn More about condition grades
