Auction History Result k253 MAGIC FLAME color 15x19 oversized still '27 super sexy Vilma Banky! Date Sold 3/7/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe Color 15 1/2" x 19 1/2" Movie Still (Learn More) The Magic Flame, the 1927 Henry King silent circus crime murder mystery melodrama (nominated for Best Cinematography; a plot that has been re-used many times; a circus clown is a double for a king of a small country, and the king kidnaps his girlfriend, beautiful trapeze artist Vilma Banky; the clown rescues the girl and kills the king, and assumes his identity, becoming a benevolent king, whereas the former king was cruel, and of course, he marries his girlfriend and she becomes a queen!) starring Ronald Colman (in the dual role as "Tito the Clown" and "The Count"), Vilma Banky (as Bianca, the Aerial Artist), Agostino Borgato, and Gustav von Seyffertitz. Note that it was a pretty common plot device in silent movies to not only have people meet their exact double, but also to then go on to impersonate them. I wonder if this happens much in real life! Also note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been glued on to a heavy artists board backing (this was surely done at the time the still was created). Condition: very good.
