Date Sold 6/25/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book 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 this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic.
