An Original Vintage German Ross Cigarette Card (measures 1 3/4" x 2 1/2") (Learn More) Gustav Frohlich was a German actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He had appeared in a few minor roles in German movies after having been a stage actor, but then he got a minor role in Metropolis in 1927. But Thea von Harbou noticed him on the set and suggested that Fritz Lang give him one of the male leads, which he did, and that made Frohlich a major star. In the early 1930s, he made some movies in Hollywood, but most of his career was spent in Germany. He was banned from German movies from 1941 to 1943, supposedly because he slapped Joseph Goebbels! In all, he made 105 movies and died in 1987 at the age of 85. Important Added Info: Note that the German "Ross" company, which made "Ross" autograph cards that were passed out at special premieres, also made a series of cigarette cards that measure 1 3/4" x 2 1/2", and this is one of those cards (see our images of the front and back). Condition: good to very good. There are faint ink marks in the left and right background areas. Learn More about condition grades
