Auction History Result 8x135 EMIL JANNINGS 7.75x10 key book still '20s head & shoulders c/u of the great Swiss actor! Date Sold 1/30/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Key Book (8x10 keybook) 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Still (Learn More) Emil Jannings (born Theodor Friedrich Emil Janenz) was a Swiss actor from the 1910s to the 1940s (he was quite popular during the silent era, especially in German movies with Murnau and U.S. movies with Von Sternberg, but the coming of sound hurt his American career due to his thick accent). Some of his movies include: Faust, The Last Command (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Last Laugh, Tartuffe, Way Of All Flesh (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and of course, The Blue Angel. Jannings was an actor who participated in the Nazi propaganda films during World War II (WWII), tarnishing what had been an illustrious career. He passed away in 1950 at the age of 65. Important Added Info: Note that the still is glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely this was a key book still, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Condition: very good. The top 1" was unevenly trimmed off and there are some faint scuffs in the right of the still. Learn More about condition grades
