Romance to fascinate you. Splendor to awe you. An eye feast of eastern beauties, a brilliant sumptuous, spectacular production. Fires the blood. Startles the mind. Thrills the heart."; "Based on Jules Verne's celebrated novel 'Mathias Sandorf'", which was written in 1885, and which he dedicated to Alexandre Dumas pere, because the book was an homage to his "The Count of Monte Cristo"; in this book, three Hungarian conspirators join forces in 1867 to try to liberate Hungary from Austria, but by terrible bad luck, a message they send by a carrier pigeon is intercepted, and they end up sentenced to death, but one of them escapes, and 15 years later, he resurfaces as a well known physician, living in an island fortress filled with advanced weapons, and his sole goal is to get revenge on those who wronged him and killed his two friends years before) starring Romuald Joube (in the title role as Mathias Sandorf), Yvette Andreyor, Jean Toulout, Paul Vermoyal, and Gaston Modot. Note that this French movie was released in the U.S. by Pathe as "The Isle of Zorda", and first release movie paper from it is incredibly rare! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that when this French movie was released in the U.S., the French stars were not known to the U.S. public, so Pathe created a poster based solely on the U.S. title, "The Isle of Zorda". But the poster designer likely had not read the book, because in the book, the lead character lives on "an island fortress", but the poster shows a desert island that looks like it came out of Robinson Crusoe! Note that we have never auctioned any movie paper item from this movie (from any country) before being consigned this one-sheet! Condition: good. The poster has 6" of separation, with tiny paper loss in the left half of the bottom horizontal fold. It was folded in half an extra time, and there are creases on the folds, with a few tiny tears on parts of some folds. It has pinholes in the corners and some tears and tiny paper loss around the edges, with triangular paper loss in the right of the bottom blank border, and tears with small paper loss in the left and right of the bottom background area. There are a few faint brown stains scattered throughout the poster that are mostly only visible from the back. After a relatively simple linenbacking, this extremely rare poster will look great!
