Auction History Result 5w553 BREAK OF HEARTS LC '35 close up of Charles Boyer glaring at Katharine Hepburn! Date Sold 3/24/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm]) (Learn More) Break of Hearts, the 1935 Philip Moeller romantic melodrama ("A new Hepburn to marvel at..."; "Electric Hepburn... ablaze in gorgeous gowns... together with the screen's new romantic idol"; based on the story by Lester Cohen; about a famous orchestra conductor who has many girlfriends, but then he meets a beautiful young female composer, and he falls in love and marries her, but then she catches him with another woman and leaves him) starring Katharine Hepburn, Charles Boyer, John Beal, Jean Hersholt, and Sam Hardy. Note that Francis Lederer was originally the male lead in this movie, but during the filming of the first romantic scene, he complained that the director wanted to show his "bad side", and he was immediately fired and replaced by Boyer, a young French actor (and this was a big break for Boyer, in one of his first major roles, and he was billed as "the screen's new romantic idol")! Also note that the orchestra conductor was based on two real-life conductors of the period: Leopold Stokowski, who was well known for his rearrangements of music by Bach, Wagner and other composers; and Arturo Toscanini, who was notorious for insulting his musicians during rehearsals the way the orchestra conductor does in the film.
