Auction History Result 2s0500 EVER IN MY HEART Swedish 1934 Rohman art of Barbara Stanwyck & Otto Kruger, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1934 (from the first release of this movie in Sweden) Vintage Theatrical Folded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39" [70 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) Ever in My Heart, the 1933 Archie Mayo World War I (WWI) Home Front romantic prejudice melodrama (about an upper class American woman from a small town who marries a distinguished German man who becomes a professor, and life is good for them, but then they have to deal with massive prejudice after World War I begins and the two countries are at war with each other; finally, things get so bad that the husband returns to Germany and joins the German army, and his wife divorces him, but later she is in Germany working for the war effort, and she meets him again) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Otto Kruger, Ralph Bellamy, Ruth Donnelly, Laura Hope Crews, and George Cooper. Note that this movie is very similar to "Gentleman's Agreement", made right after World War II, dealing with the prejudice faced by Jewish Americans after World War II. Except for history buffs, many people today are not aware that there was massive anti-German prejudice in the U.S. during World War I, and many horrible incidents of violence against German Americans whose only "crime" was having been born in Germany. This was another example of Warner Bros. in the early 1930s dealing with an important social issue (like "I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang" and "Wild Boys of the Road", among many others) at a time when other studios were pretty much unwilling to do so. However, it is interesting to note that this movie is essentially pro-German (and rightly so, because the Germans in the U.S. were treated abysmally during World War I). But just a few years after this, Warners would become aware of what was going on in Nazi Germany, and would be at the forefront of American studios rightfully making ANTI-German films! The reviews of this movie all agree that it is an excellent movie, but it is pretty much forgotten today except by major film buffs, and that is a shame (we imagine it is because of the subject matter). Finally, note that Otto Kruger made a wonderful German (and spoke German within the movie in parts), but he was actually a Dutch actor (even though his name sounds like it might be German!).

We have only previously auctioned a half-sheet, a window card, a lobby card, and a few stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this Swedish poster! Not only that, but there is an oddity about this movie, which is that until we received this poster, we did not even know that is was ever released outside the U.S., because we have had no movie paper from any other country before this! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has two evenly spaced vertical folds and two evenly spaced horizontal folds, not unusual in Swedish posters of this period. It has very minor fold and border wear.
