Auction History Result 3b1160 MAN OF TWO WORLDS insert 1934 close-up of RKO's blazing new star Francis Lederer, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Man of Two Worlds, the 1934 J. Walter Ruben romantic culture clash melodrama ("From a Novel by Ainsworth Morgan"; about a simple Eskimo taken from his home by explorers because he needs an operation and once he heals, he interacts with "modern civilization", and he also falls in love the pretty daughter of one of the explorers) starring Francis Lederer ("The producers who discovered and brought Katherine Hepburn to triumphant stardom confidently offer the screen debut of a blazing new star!"), Elissa Landi, Henry Stephenson, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Walter Byron. Note that after the huge success of "Nanook of the North", Hollywood tried to make some movies about Eskimos, but in 1934, a romance between a white woman and an Eskimo was considered "interracial", so of course, it was doomed to failure. Also note that this movie was the forerunner of similar popular movies, including "Tarzan's New York Adventure" and "Crocodile Dundee", where primitive men come to a big city and show how superior their "simple values" are!
