An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) Fanny Hurst's Symphony of Six Million, the 1932 Gregory La Cava New York City Jewish medical doctor hospital melodrama ("As big as life... As powerful as love!"; "'Humoresque' of the Talkies"; "DRAMA rooted deep in the hopes.. Fears.. Loves and ambitions of humanity.. Written by the golden pen of Fannie Hurst whose immortal 'Humoresque' it surpasses!"; "Fannie Hurst's gifted genius pens the immortal rhapsody of the talkies, finer than her 'humoresque'!"; "The greatest test love ever faced... in the genius of a surgeon's hands lay the life of the woman he loved!"; "Man's miracle city tells it's story!"; "It's loves.. fears.. heartbreak and glamour.. struck from stone and steel.. given life in the pulsing heart of six millions!"; based on the story by Fanny Hurst; produced by David O. Selznick; about a young Jewish man in New York City who comes from a poor immigrant family, and he goes to medical school and starts a clinic for poor immigrants, but then his brother convinces him to become a fancy Park Avenue doctor, and he does so, and acquires a beautiful non-Jewish girlfriend, which alienates his family, but then a family crisis causes him to become a broken man!) starring Irene Dunne, Ricardo Cortez, Anna Appel, Gregory Ratoff, and Noel Madison. Note that Irene Dunne was a bigger star than Ricardo Cortez, so she was billed over him on the poster, but Cortez was the main focus of the movie. Since he himself was Jewish (although he had been passed off by Paramount as Hispanic, so that he could be another Valentino!), this movie no doubt hit very close to home with him!
