Auction History Result W250 EMIL JANNINGS portrait vintage 8x10 still 1929 Date Sold 5/25/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Emil Jannings (born Theodor Friedrich Emil Janenz) was a Swiss actor from the 1910s to the 1940s (he was quite popular during the silent era, especially in German movies with Murnau and U.S. movies with Von Sternberg, but the coming of sound hurt his American career due to his thick accent). Some of his movies include: Faust, The Last Command (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Last Laugh, Tartuffe, Way Of All Flesh (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and of course, The Blue Angel. Jannings was an actor who participated in the Nazi propaganda films during World War II (WWII), tarnishing what had been an illustrious career. He passed away in 1950 at the age of 65. Important Added Info: Note that there is a printed snipe on the back of the still, describing the scene on the front (it says "The Way of All Flesh" has just premiered). There is also a studio stamp on the reverse and a photographer's credit for "Gene Robert Richee". Condition: good. This vintage movie publicity still is in lesser condition (what most collectors might call "good"). It has real defects typical of poorly stored photographs that are ten to eighty years old. Note that our small image of the item on this auction page leads to a really HUGE image of this item, so please look at that larger image, as it will certainly greatly help you know exactly what condition this item is in! Many vintage stills pick up "scuff" marks over the years and it is likely that this item has some of them, and they may not be all that apparent from our larger image. Please do not bid on this still unless you can accept the clear defects that it has! Learn More about condition grades
