An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Hotel Imperial, the 1927 Mauritz Stiller silent World War I (WWI) Austria romantic melodrama ("Story by Lajos Biro"; about a woman who believes her sister committed suicide because of the man she was involved with, and she decides to get revenge in an incredibly elaborate scheme, beginning with getting a job as a maid in the hotel where he lives) starring Pola Negri, James Hall, George Siegmann, Max Davidson, Michael Vavitch, Otto Fries, and Nicholas Soussanin. Note that in the early 1930s, Marlene Dietrich wanted to do a sound remake of this movie, and much money was spent preparing it, but Dietrich quit, causing the studio to lose a lot. It was revived a few years later with Margaret Sullavan intended to star, but that did not happen either, and it was finally remade in 1939 with Isa Miranda in the lead role.

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1927 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a single herald from this movie until we received this window card! 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: fair to good. The card has darkened somewhat. It has some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the image, with a few stains. There are nail holes around the edges, with one in the chin of the man's silhouette. There is paper loss in the bottom of the "N" of "Negri". Please read our description above and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
