Auction History Result 3h0350 LOT OF 21 NAPOLEON SOUVENIR PROGRAM BOOKS R1981 Abel Gance's 1927 masterpiece! Date Sold 11/27/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 21 R81 souvenir program books from Napoleon, the classic 1927 (released in the U.S. in 1929) Abel Gance French Napoleonic War silent biographical historical military melodrama (about the life of Napoleon, starting from when he was a young boy, and carrying through to when he became Emperor of Europe) starring Albert Dieudonne (in the title role as the famous French Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte), Paul Amiot, Annabella (in her first film), Antonin Artaud, Edmond Van Daele, and Abel Gance (as Louis Saint-Just). Note that this movie was the masterpiece of director Abel Gance. It included "triptych" (triple screen) images that predated Cinerama by 30 years, and it is really a remarkable movie on every level. But sadly, it was a silent movie, and sound had just begun, and the movie was not successful, and Gance removed it from circulation and was thought to have destroyed the original movie. In 1981, Francis Ford Coppola financed a restoration by Kevin Brownlow, a silent-film historian and filmmaker. It was presented in Great Britain with a new musical score by Carl Davis. Coppola's father, Carmine, composed (and adapted other period classical pieces) the score that was used for the U.S. and worldwide (except Great Britain) exhibitions. Measurements: 5" x 9"Note that our consignor KNOWS that he could surely get more money for these selling them one at a time, but he wants to sell them faster than that! So certainly the buyer of this lot could likely make good money reselling these one at a time (of course, depending on how much he pays for the lot). However, these CAN'T be reconsigned to us to be auctioned individually! We also have some other lots of multiple examples of different souvenir programs from this same consignor. IMPORTANT! The lot contains 21 identical programs, so we have only pictured the cover and two interior spreads from one program, but the winner of this auction receives all 21 programs! Condition: very good. We have only pictured one of the programs, but all 21 are in similar condition. See the images of the one that we pictured to get a sense of the condition of all 21 programs.
