Auction History Result 5p0880 GREAT WALTZ linen Argentinean 1938 art of Luise Rainer & Fernand Gravet, Julien Duvivier, rare! Date Sold 12/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures approximately 29" x 43" [74 x 109 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Waltz, the 1938 Julien Duvivier fictionalized biographical romantic dance musical ("Your beating heart, your pounding pulse will tell you it's the most exciting musical love story ever told!"; "Life is a romance of wine, women and song"; an incredibly loose biography of Johann Strauss, the Austrian "Waltz King") starring Luise Rainer (as Strauss' wife), Fernand Gravey (billed as "Fernand Gravet"; as Johann Strauss), Miliza Korjus (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Hugh Herbert, and Lionel Atwill. Note that this is the movie with the classic scene showing Gravet and Miliza Korjus (playing a woman Strauss had a long affair with, and in real life she was an opera singer who only appeared in a couple of movies) riding in the Vienna woods in a carriage and composing the classic "Tales of the Vienna Woods" off of the sounds they hear around them!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Argentinean poster, and that was 9 years ago. That example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Note that apparently they had a similar situation in Argentina to that in the U.S., in that there was a large Spanish speaking population in America in the 1930s and 1940s, and studios would create dubbed versions of their movies in Spanish, and they would release them to U.S. theaters in areas that had large Spanish speaking populations, and they would print special posters that said "Toda en Espanol". We have only seen a very few Argentinean posters like this, which were apparently printed for use in areas of Argentina where Castilian was spoken, and there was a dubbed version of this movie created, and this poster reads "Toda en Castellano", which makes it a very interesting curiosity.

Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
