Auction History Result 3a287 LOVES OF MADAME DUBARRY pre-war Belgian '35 wonderful art of gorgeous Gitta Alpar in dress! Date Sold 11/11/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 23 1/2" x 30" [60 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) I Give My Heart (released in the U.S. as "The Loves of Madame Dubarry"), the 1935 Marcel Varnel English musical operetta romantic melodrama("Charming romance of the little milliner who enslaved kings and princes."; "Gorgeous music & spectacle") starring Gitta Alpar (billed as "The Human Nightingale" and "The Original Du Barry"; in the title role as Madame DuBarry), Patrick Waddington, Owen Nares, Arthur Margetson, and Margaret Bannerman. Note that there were three silent versions of this movie in the 1910s. In 1930 came "Du Barry, Woman of Passion", the first sound version, followed by this movie in 1935. In 1943, there was "Du Barry Was a Lady", with Lucille Ball, but that was a comedy and was not from the same source as this movie and the earlier versions. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we can't say for certain that this poster is from this movie, because the Belgian title translates to "My Heart Sings", and that is not a match for any of the movies Alpar made. But there are only two movies out of the nine she made that would seem to be possible for this poster. One is this movie, and the other is "Guilty Melody". If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded once vertically and twice horizontally, both near the middle. It likely once had a larger blank top that was partially trimmed off. It has some wear on the foldlines and pinholes around the edges, with a few near the center of the poster (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
