An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded German Movie Window Card (WC; measures 9 1/2" x 14 3/4" [24 x 37 cm]) (Learn More) Gold, the 1934 Karl Hartl German science fiction (sci-fi) atomic energy melodrama (about two German scientists who discover how to turn lead into gold but one is murdered and the lab is destroyed, and the surviving scientist is hired by the murderer, a British industrialist who has replicated the experiment on a grand scale using a nuclear reactor) starring Hans Albers, Lien Deyers, Michael Bohen, Brigitte Helm (best remembered for her starring role in Fritz Lang's "Metropolis"), Eberhard Leirhoff, Ernst Karchow, Willy Schur, Hansjoachim Buttner, Walter Steinbeck, Heinz Wemper, and Rudolf Platte. This was a German language version of this movie, and there was also a French language version called "L'or". Universal did the same thing with "Dracula" in 1931. They filmed the movie twice, once in English, and once in Spanish, with two entirely different casts, U.S. actors for the English version and mostly Latin actors for the Spanish version, obviously for release in Spanish speaking countries, and the same was done with this movie, except it was released in German and French (the French language version starred Pierre Blanchar and Brigitte Helm). Also note that some of the footage from this movie was re-used in the 1953 B-movie, "The Magnetic Monster"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Karl Petau Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this German window card, which is a "country of origin" poster for this German movie! Of course, ANY German poster of any kind from before World War II is incredibly rare, because their paper shortages were even greater than those of other countries, and hardly any paper of any kind from before World War II survives (and in addition to shortages, items associated with the Nazi era were often destroyed for that reason). This is one of a remarkable group of 15 1930s German window cards we were consigned, which we are currently auctioning in 15 separate auctions. After these auctions have ended, it might be years before we even get one or two more of these. Finally, note that this German window card is printed on a heavy paper stock that cannot be rolled. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
