Auction History Result 2c364 DEVIL'S IN LOVE 1sh 1933 art of Victor Jory with Loretta Young & Devil shadow, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/12/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28 1/4" x 41 1/4" [72 x 105 cm]) (Learn More) The Devil's In Love, the 1933 William Dieterle (billed as "Wilhelm Dieterle") Northern Africa murder mystery French Foreign Legion melodrama (about a military doctor who is unfairly transferred to another post by a major, and when the major is found dead, the doctor is the natural suspect, and he must find a way to prove himself innocent) starring Victor Jory, Loretta Young, Vivienne Osborne, David Manners, Herbert Mundin, J. Carrol Naish, Akim Tamiroff, Emile Chautard, C. Henry Gordon, and Bela Lugosi (in an uncredited role as the military prosecutor!). Note that director William Dieterle is one of the most legendary directors, but he does not usually get the acclaim that the other top directors do. This is odd, because he directed many wonderful movies, and he made the transition from German movies to English movies without difficulty. He was an actor in many German movies, starting in the silents, and his career remained strong throughout the 1940s, and he really deserves far more recognition than he gets. Note that in this one movie, and in one other, he was billed under his birth name of "Wilhelm". Perhaps he felt he had achieved enough success that he could use his "real" name. But the studio quickly went back to billing him as "William", perhaps because of the growing anti-German sentiment in the U.S. as a result of the growth of the Nazi party.

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1933 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned four lobby cards and two stills from this movie until we received this one-sheet! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had a partial extra fold just above the regular top horizontal fold, with tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some small tears in the top quarter of the vertical fold. It had a few small tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was paperbacked with no excess, solely for preservation purposes, but it will still display well on the new owner's wall, or certainly, additional restoration could be performed. After it was backed, it was slightly roughly handled, and acquired a faint partial diagonal crease in the upper center, going into the Devil's head, but it is very faint.
