Auction History Result 4k154 BE MINE TONIGHT WC '32 opera star Jan Kiepura in a grand and glorious musical experience! Date Sold 8/30/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 13 3/4" x 22") (Learn More) Tell Me Tonight (released in the U.S. in 1933 as "Be Mine Tonight"), the 1932 Anatole Litvak English romantic opera music comedy ("You're going to experience a new grand and glorious feeling!"; "A new grand and glorious experience awaits you!"; "Carl Laemmle has the honor to present Be Mine Tonight"; "Carl Laemmle has the honor to present the international hit"; about an opera singer who has endless young female fans, so he goes to a small town where he is unknown, but he realizes he misses the limelight, although he finds someone to love in the tiny town) starring Jan Kiepura (real-life Polish opera singer who made a rare film appearance in this English movie!), Sonnie Hale, Magda Schneider, Edmund Gwenn, and Athene Seyler. This movie was also made in French and German versions. Universal did the same thing with "Dracula" in 1931. They filmed the movie twice, once in English, and once in Spanish, with two entirely different casts, U.S. actors for the English version and mostly Latin actors for the Spanish version, obviously for release in Spanish speaking countries, and the same was done with this movie, except that there were three versions (both the German language and French language versions also starred Jan Kiepura and Magda Schneider). Even more confusing, when the movie was released in the U.S. in 1933, it had yet a third title (especially because we have seen first release posters that call the movie "Be Mine To Night" AND "Be Mine To-Night"!).

Important Added Info: Note that this window card has been trimmed and it now measures 13 3/4" x 22". Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. A tiny bit was trimmed from the blank borders. There is faint water staining scattered across the bottom of the card and some small border defects, but otherwise, the card is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
