Auction History Result 9a116 DAUGHTERS OF PLEASURE Swedish 1925 Hakansson art of Clara Bow in early big role, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/15/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1925 (from the first release of this movie in Sweden) Vintage Theatrical Folded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 23 1/2" x 35 1/2" [60 x 90 cm]) (Learn More) Daughters of Pleasure, the 1924 William Beaudine silent romantic melodrama (based on the novel by Caleb Proctor; about a man who comes into wealth, and he has a wife and grown daughter, and he has an affair with a pretty young Frenchwoman, played by Clara Bow, and she turns out to be a friend of his daughter's, but later, the husband begs forgiveness from his wife and she forgives him) starring Marie Prevost, Monte Blue, Clara Bow (very early in her career, in one of her first substantial roles, three years before she became the "It Girl"), Edythe Chapman, and Wilfred Lucas. Note that this film is partially "lost" (only 4 of the 6 reels survive). Also note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

We have only previously auctioned a few lobby cards and a German program from this movie until we received this Swedish poster! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. The poster has minor fold and border wear, some small separation in the upper vertical foldline edge and two very giant patches of slight discoloration along two portions of the right blank border. Otherwise, especially given its age, the poster is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
