Auction History Result 3c641 LOVE IN THE RING German program '30 cool images of boxer Max Schmeling when he became champ! Date Sold 11/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Liebe Im Ring (released in the U.S. in 1936 as "Love in the Ring"), the 1930 Reinhold Schunzel German romantic love triangle boxing sports melodrama (an early version of the most common boxing story, about a young man who is torn between his decent girlfriend, and the evil vamp who wants him if he can become a boxing champion!) starring Max Schmeling, Renate Muller, Olga Tschechowa, Frida Richard, and Rudolf Biebrach. Note that Max Schmeling had been a German professional boxer starting in 1924, and he came to the U.S. in 1928, and he won the heavyweight champion in 1930 when Jack Sharkey was disqualified for a low blow. That made him a major German celebrity, and he was rushed into this movie, and by all accounts, he did a fine job in the lead role. In 1932, he lost the title back to Sharkey, and in 1933, Schmeling lost to Max Baer, and it seemed he was finished. But in 1936, he knocked out Joe Louis, which made him the number one contender for the heavyweight title. So this movie was released for the first time in the U.S. after he beat Joe Louis, due to the renewed interest in Schmeling. He would fight Louis for the championship in 1937, but Schmeling was knocked out in the first round. Schmeling was champion by Adolf Hitler, and he joined the Luftwaffe, but after the war, Schmeling became good friends with Joe Louis! He died in 2005 at the age of 99.

Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
