An Original Vintage Theatrical German Movie Lobby Card #37 (LC; measures 9 1/4" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]) (Learn More) Olympia 1. Teil - Fest der Volker (released in the U.S. as "The Olympiad"), the 1938 Leni Riefenstahl (movie actress who became a director for Hitler and made "Triumph of the Will" and this film) German Olympic sports documentary featuring documentary footage of the Olympic events, which included the top athletes from Germany, but also from the other competing countries, including the black athletes from the U.S., most notably Jesse Owens and Ralph Metcalfe. Adolf Hitler appears in the movie, and there are additional sequences of athletes performing (some in the nude), which were filmed especially for this movie. Note that this documentary on the 1936 Berlin Olympics was so massive that it was released in two parts (the first part was "Olympia Part I: Festival of the Nations", and the second part was "Olympia Part II: Festival of Beauty"; so technically this movie should be referred to as "Festival of the Nations", but because most people know it under the title of "Olympia" or "Olympiad", we refer to it in that way). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" lobby card for this German movie! We previously auctioned six other German lobby cards from this classic sports documentary, but this is the only one that includes a nude female, which made this documentary even more controversial! Also note that this German lobby card measures 9 1/4" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]. Finally, note that this item contains some nudity, so we have placed a white bar over those areas for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual item does not have the white bars. Condition: very good to fine. There are tiny creases and the tiniest of surface paper loss in the bottom right blank corner and the slightest of wear in the rest of the borders. This lobby card has survived in wonderful condition! Learn More about condition grades
