An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 3/4" x 30") (Learn More) Destiny, the 1944 Julien Duvivier & Reginald Le Borg romantic crime melodrama ("He judged every dame by this one...and that wasn't good!"; "Man-Trap! He hated every beautiful inch of her-for what she could do to him!"; "..as fate writes the Screen's strangest story of love!"; "The storms of the flesh match the fury of the heavens-in the screen's strangest story of love."; a weird story of a fugitive on the run who is actually guilty of his crimes, but he meets a farmer and his blind daughter, and falls in love with her, which causes him to get a new view of life, and he risks capture to help her father, but he finds he is no longer wanted, and he is able to start a life with his blind love) starring Gloria Jean, Alan Curtis, Frank Craven, Grace McDonald, Vivian Austin, Minna Gombell, and Frank Fenton. Note that this film was intended to be the opening segment of the Julien Duvivier anthology "Flesh and Fantasy". However, it was cut from that film, and Universal had Reginald Le Borg shoot additional scenes to create a complete feature. Also, Universal was apparently not too keen on selling this story of a convict redeemed by his love for a spiritual blind girl, and their advertising for the movie shows an image of Gloria Jean smiling in a sexy red dress, giving no indication she is either blind or "spiritual"!
