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 22 years ago we auctioned a one-sheet from this movie, but since then, we have never auctioned a single poster or lobby card, until now, when we were consigned two different lobby cards, and we are auctioning them in two separate auctions! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: very good. There are smudges and a few creases in the corners, and a slightly enlarged pinhole in the upper center of the image. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
