Auction History Result 4f1415 JUAREZ candid deluxe 8x10 still 1939 c/u of Betty Davis doing her makeup on set by Bert Six! Date Sold 5/9/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Juarez ("WAR-EZZ"), the 1939 William Dieterle (this is one of five biographical movies Dieterle directed for Warner Bros) historical Mexico romantic biographical melodrama ("The screen's greatest triumph"; "Based on the play by Franz Werfel and the novel 'The Phantom Crown' by Bertita Harding"; about Mexican President Benito Juarez, and his leading the Mexican Revolution from Spain) starring Paul Muni (in the title role as Benito Juarez), Bette Davis (as Empress Carlota von Hapsburg), Brian Aherne (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Emperor Maximilian von Hapsburg), Claude Rains (as Emperor Louis Napoleon III), John Garfield (as Porfirio Diaz; in his fourth movie role!), Donald Crisp, Gale Sondergaard, Gilbert Roland, and Henry O'Neill. Note that this movie primarily focuses on the doomed romance of Maximilian and Carlotta, who were sent by Napoleon to rule Mexico, but because Paul Muni had a contract with Warner Bros that said that his character's name had to be in the title of the movie, the movie was called "Juarez" (and because Jack Warner was afraid that people would mispronounce this "strange" name, he had them add "WAR-EZZ" under the title to some posters!). Also note that Warner Bros cast then-red-hot young actor John Garfield in this movie, and they had him playing a Mexican general, even though he was only 26 and had a strong Brooklyn accent!
