Date Sold 8/12/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1925 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Thief of Bagdad, the classic 1924 Raoul Walsh silent Arabian Nights romantic action adventure fantasy thriller ("'He will steal your heart away!'"; from the story by Achmed Abdullah; about a thief in ancient Arabia, who poses as a Prince to win the hand of a Princess, but when he does, he confesses to her, and he is flogged and thrown out; he enters a contest to win her hand, but he must go on an extremely dangerous journey to win it!) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (in the title role as The Thief of Bagdad), Snitz Edwards, Charles Belcher, Julanne Johnston (as The Princess), Sojin, Anna May Wong, and Noble Johnson (as The Indian Prince). Note that there is a 1940 movie of the same name which borrows elements of the plot of this movie, but is really not a remake (although both movies are really wonderful and are both "classics"!). Finally, note that Mitchell Leisen (well regarded director of 1930s and 1940s romantic comedies) did the wonderful costumes for this movie! He had started as a costume designer in 1921, and in 1922, he did the costumes for Fairbanks' Robin Hood, and after doing the costumes for this movie, he also became an art director, which led to his first directing assignment in 1933! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that German programs from the early 1920s are INCREDIBLY scarce, especially from major movies. This is almost certainly because of the great paper shortages in Germany during World War II, during which all earlier paper was recycled, which means virtually no pre-World War II German paper survives. Also note that we have pictured the front cover, and two interior 2-page spreads from this program. Condition: good to very good. The program is printed on a newsprint like paper and it is fragile around the edges, and the covers have darkened somewhat (more so on the top of the front cover). Learn More about condition grades
