An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Port-Arthur (released in the U.S. in 1941 as "Orders From Tokyo"), the 1936 Nicolas Farkas French Russo-Japanese War melodrama ("A Thrilling Drama Of Russian Heroism vs. Japanese Treachery."; based on the novel by Pierre Frondaie) starring Danielle Darrieux, Anton Walbrook, Charles Vanel, Jean-Max, and Jean Worms. Note that this is a bizarre movie! This is the French-language version of the film, and there was also a German-language version which was filmed at the same time. Both versions were directed by Nicolas Farkas and starred Anton Walbrook. This French-language version was released in the U.S. under the title "Orders From Tokyo" in 1941 by A.F.E. Pictures. We have also seen a 1940 U.S. lobby card from Columbia studio that was titled "I Give My Life", which was the title used for the Australian (perhaps English as well) release. Perhaps the lobby card is from an aborted U.S. release? If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: As mentioned in the Film Description, there was a French-language version of this movie, and there was also a German-language version which was filmed at the same time. The French-language version was released by A.F.E. in the U.S. in 1941 as "Orders From Tokyo". However, we have seen lobby cards from Columbia with a 1940 copyright, and a title of "I Give My Life" (which was also the title used in Australia). Perhaps the lobby cards are from an aborted U.S. release, or there was a legal issue because MGM released a movie under that title in 1935. If anyone knows more about this lobby card, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. Note that this lobby card has been sniped (by the studio) with its final title of "Orders From Tokyo". Otherwise, the card is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
