An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Under Secret Orders, the 1937 (released in the U.S. in 1943) Edmond T. Greville English World War I (WWI) military spy espionage thriller ("A gripping expose of a most sinister spy ring!"; about a German spy during World War I who, just before he is killed by British agents, tells the secrets he has discovered to his girlfriend, and she becomes a spy, very successfully, but then she begins to question if she is on the right side) starring Dita Parlo, John Loder, Erich von Stroheim (billed on U.S. posters as "Erich Stroheim"), Claire Luce, and Gyles Isham. Note that this movie was inspired by the life of female German spy, Elsbeth Schragmuller, who was known as Fraulein Doktor, and not only was she a very successful spy, but she also recruited and trained Mata Hari among others! Finally, note that when this movie was made in England in 1937, there was not enough interest in it for a U.S. release. But in 1943, during World War II, a U.S. distributor released it, and they gave Erich von Stroheim top billing, even though he gets killed early in the movie, and they billed him as "Erich Stroheim", likely due to the anti-German sentiments of the time.
