Date Sold 10/14/2003Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 7 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Stills (Learn More) Seven Faces, the 1929 Berthold Viertel romantic melodrama (based on the short story 'A Friend of Napoleon' by Richard Connell; Muni plays the elderly caretaker of a wax museum in Paris, and the museum goes broke and they auction off the wax figures, and Muni is so in love with the Napoleon figure that he steals it and is discovered and tried for the crime; the most interesting part of the movie is an extended dream sequence, where Muni plays the part of six of the museum's wax figures, Napoleon, Don Juan, Svengali, Franz Schubert; Diablero, Willie Smith [a black African American], and Joe Gans [a boxer]) starring Paul Muni, Marguerite Churchill, Lester Lonergan, Russell Gleason and Gustav von Seyffertitz. Note that Muni was 33 years old when this movie (his second ever) was made, but he had specialized in playing old men in the theater, and this entire movie was a chance for him to show off his amazing acting and make up skills. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good.
