An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" (8x10) Movie Still (Learn More) The Man Who Laughs, the classic 1928 Paul Leni Universal romantic horror thriller (based on the novel 'L'Homme Qui Rit' by Victor Hugo; about the son of an English nobleman whose father tries to overthrow the King, and his father is executed and his infant son is sold to gypsies, but first his mouth is cut so that it looks to be permanently smiling!; he ends up becoming a sideshow star and falls in love with a blind girl, but he feels certain she would be repulsed if she could see how hideous he looks) starring Conrad Veidt (in the title role as Gwynplaine, The Man Who Laughs), Mary Philbin (as Dea, the blind girl), Olga Baclanova, Stuart Holmes, Josephine Crowell, George Siegmann (as Dr. Hardquanonne), and Julius Molnar Jr. (as Gwynplaine as a child). Note that most film buffs might assume this movie was a German production, given that its top star (Conrad Veidt) and its director (Paul Leni) were both major figures of silent German cinema, but in fact, it is a U.S. production made by Universal Pictures (although of course, it was released in Germany, as well as in all other European countries).

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of five stills from this movie that we were consigned by a collector who purchased them directly from a studio warehouse! The stills were in the original bag from Universal Pictures, which protected them extremely well, and they have survived in fantastic condition. I was consigned the stills in the bag, and I have closely examined them, and I am 100% certain they are extremely rare original 1928 stills from this most classic horror movie! Condition: very good to fine. There are tiny pinholes in the borders. There is a tiny bit of surface paper loss on the back center of the still where a small piece of tape was removed, but it does not affect the front at all. There are some faint smudges and scuffs scattered through the still, but they are truthfully not very noticeable, except when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
