An Original 1952 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage Theatrical German Movie Herald (measures 7 1/4" x 16" [18 x 41 cm] when unfolded) (Learn More) Casablanca, the classic 1942 Michael Curtiz (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) anti-Nazi World War II (WWII) romantic love triangle melodrama ("From a play by Murray Burnett and June Alison"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; it is interesting to note that the movie was made while World War II was being fought, and at a point when it seemed very real that Germany might take over the entire world, and in that context, the strong emotions expressed throughout the movie are all the more poignant, given what was going on in the world at that time) starring Humphrey Bogart (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as "Rick", Richard Blaine), Ingrid Bergman (as Ilsa Lund), Paul Henreid (as Victor Laszlo), Claude Rains (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Captain Renault), Conrad Veidt (as Major Strasser), Sydney Greenstreet (as Signor Ferrari), Peter Lorre (as Ugarte), S.Z. Sakall (as Carl), Dooley Wilson (as Sam), Madeleine LeBeau (as Yvonne), Leonid Kinskey (as Sascha), John Qualen (as Berger), Marcel Dalio (as Emil, the croupier at the roulette wheel), Corinna Mura (as the cabaret singer who plays the guitar and sings "La Marseillaise"), Helmut Dantine (as the young man playing roulette), and Joy Page (as Dantine's girlfriend, who is willing to sleep with Rains) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a really cool and really unusual item! It is a large herald that measures 7 1/4" x 16", but it has a 4 1/2" area at the bottom that folds up to put a tagline underneath Bergman's large image that reads "Something special for Bergman lovers!". It certainly makes sense that this classic movie, with its strong anti-Nazi and anti-German message might not have gone over well in Germany just seven years after the end of the war, so they were selling it on Ingrid Bergman's appeal alone! Not only have we never seen this item before, but we have not seen other German heralds like it (but it definitely is a herald, because it had an area on the back that is overprinted with play dates in red (see our images). Also note this herald was folded in half at one time as was originally intended. Condition: very good. The herald was folded horizontally extra times and there is a small brown stain at the bottom of the tagline area. Otherwise, the herald is in pretty nice condition!
