Auction History Result #394 MARRY ME LC '32 Renate Muller Date Sold 9/25/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Lobby Card (Measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) Marry Me, the 1932 Wilhelm Thiele English romantic marriage comedy ("Happiness! Joy and fun for all!"; "Swell song! Furious fun! Laughs galore!"; the old story of a beautiful young girl who becomes a housekeeper to a handsome bachelor, and they find love in spite of their differences of class and finances) starring Renate Muller (billed as "The 'Sunshine Susie' Girl"), George Robey, Harry Green, Ian Hunter, Maurice Evans, and Billy Caryll. Note that Renate Muller was a leading German actress of the late 1920s (at the same time that Marlene Dietrich rose to stardom), and she is perhaps best remembered for her starring role in the original German version of "Victor/Victoria", and for her starring role in 1931's "Sunshine Susie", after which she was referred to as "The Sunshine Susie Girl". Unlike Dietrich, she did not leave Germany in the early 1930s, and resisted appearing in Nazi based productions, which caused her to fall in disfavor with the German film industry. She died under mysterious circumstances in 1937, having either accidentally fallen out of a third story window, been pushed, or committed suicide (depending on which version of her death you read). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a hand-colored card. In the days of silent film prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have lobby cards printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the cards one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each card is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Condition: very good to fine. There are two tack holes in the top center edge of the image background.
