Auction History Result 5x443 INTOLERANCE deluxe 8x10 still 1916 D.W. Griffith anti-discrimination epic, Constance Talmadge Date Sold 4/22/2018 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) Intolerance, the 1916 D.W. Griffith silent anti-discrimination melodrama ("Love's Struggle throughout the Ages"; "D.W. Griffith's Colossal $2,000,000 Spectacle") starring Olga Grey, Mildred Harris, Elmo Lincoln, Robert Harron, Mae Marsh, Alfred Paget, and Constance Talmadge (billed as "Georgia Pearce"). The movie was intended to show discrimination throughout the history of man, and it has a framing device of Lillian Gish (as "a fairy girl with sunlit hair and a hand on the cradle of humanity") rocking that cradle, and it then goes to a modern story (in 1916!) and then a story of Christ in Judea in 27 A.D. and then a medieval French story in 1572 A.D., and finally, a Babylonian story in 539 B.C., with Gish and the rocking cradle in between each of these stories! Note that director D.W. Griffith made this movie after the huge backlash against him that occurred when he made "The Birth of a Nation" the previous year (because that movie presented a sympathetic view of the Ku Klux Klan).

It certainly could be from 1916, but it is also possible it is from an early re-release. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to exactly when it is from. Also, someone wrote "Thelma Talmadge" on the back, which is likely a result of a poor memory, but someone else wrote "Constance Talmadge as The Mountain Girl, Intolerance, D.W. Griffith, 1916", and Constance Talmadge WAS in this movie, so we imagine that is her on the front! Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. The card has discolored, and there are some tiny stains in the top left corner. Learn More about condition grades
