An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) A Modern Hero, the 1934 G.W. Pabst (Georg Wilhelm Pabst) family relationship romantic melodrama (about a young man who is a circus rider and he has many romances, but when he falls in love, his mother reveals he is the son of a rich man that she couldn't marry, and that knowledge leads him to great financial success, but at great personal cost) starring Richard Barthelmess, Jean Muir, Marjorie Rambeau, Verree Teasdale, Florence Eldridge, Dorothy Burgess, Hobart Cavanaugh, and William Janney. Note that legendary director G.W. Pabst (who had directed Pandora's Box in Germany, and many other highly regarded movies), was talked into coming to Hollywood at this time to make his first U.S. movie. But the experience was not a happy one, and Pabst went to Europe and then returned to Germany at the onset of World War II, and he continued making movies in Germany, including a few during World War II, and around a dozen in the 1950s. This was his only U.S. movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: poor to fair.
