Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 2 1/2" x 3 1/2", folds out to 3 1/2" x 10") (Learn More) Seven Footprints to Satan, the 1929 Benjamin Christensen psychological supernatural horror mystery thriller ("7 Footprints to Satan will raise the devil with your funny bone!"; based on the novel by A. Merritt; with intertitles by Cornell Woolrich, which he wrote using the William Irish pseudonym) starring Thelma Todd, Creighton Hale, Sheldon Lewis (as "The Spider"), William V. Mong, Sojin Kamiyama (billed as "Sojin"), Angelo Rossitto (as "The Dwarf"), Loretta Young (in an early uncredited role, as one of Satan's victims!), and Winter Blossom. Note that this is one of the coolest and most bizarre movies of this time! It had been thought to be lost for many years, but an Italian print of the sound version surfaced (the movie had been filmed as both a silent and a sound movie). The plot concerns a young man and woman who get mixed up with stolen jewels, and they end up at the home of Satan himself, where there is a bizarre masquerade party, and the woman is threatened with torture by some of the guests to make her tell where the jewels are! SPOILER ALERT! At the end of the movie, the two leads escape from Satan's house, but the ordeal has driven both of them completely insane! Look for Angelo Rossitto of "Freaks" fame in a major role as a dwarf at the party, a starring role by beautiful Thelma Todd, and an uncredited appearance by Loretta Young as one of Satan's victims. There is also a gorilla that attacks a nude woman, and much, much more! Bizarrely, there are many reviews of this movie online, but none of them state exactly who it was who plays Satan! Sadly, virtually no paper exists on this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This herald was folded in half twice at one time as was originally intended. Condition: very good. slight creases along the folds. The back page is imprinted with play dates from the theater that showed the movie. Learn More about condition grades
