Auction History Result 4k211 CRADLE SONG WC '33 close up art of Dorothea Wieck, the new thrill of the screen! Date Sold 8/30/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More) Cradle Song, the 1933 Mitchell Leisen romantic religious nun convent melodrama ("The new thrill of the screen"; "A new star to thrill ten million hearts!"; "When her eyes open... ten million hearts will thrill!!"; "To see her once is to remember her always!"; based on the Spanish play by Gregorio Martinez Sierra; about a group of nuns who raise an orphan girl, and when that girl grows up, she herself helps the nuns raise a baby; when that baby grows up, she wants to leave the convent, and the woman who spent her entire life there, who was her surrogate mother, reluctantly lets her go) starring Dorothea Wieck, Evelyn Venable, Guy Standing, Louise Dresser, and Kent Taylor (in his fourth credited role!). Note that this was the only film version of what was a very popular and famous Spanish play, and Paramount apparently had huge hopes that Dorothea Wieck (a Swiss actress who had appeared in a bunch of German movies, including the lesbian cult classic "Madchen in Uniform") might be another Greta Garbo, but apparently the movie and Miss Wieck did not catch on with American audiences, and she appeared in one other American movie, and then returned to Germany where she made movies for many years.

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: poor. The bottom 4" were trimmed off, which includes the title of the movie. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
