An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Fazil, the 1928 Howard Hawks Paris France romantic royalty clash-of-cultures melodrama ("Desire under the Palms and along Parisian Boulevards"; "Story by Pierre Frondaie"; about an Arab prince in love with a Parisian woman, and they can't be happy in either setting, because of the huge differences) starring Charles Farrell (in the title role as Prince Fazil), Greta Nissen, Mae Busch, Vadim Uraneff, and Tyler Brooke. Note that the movie was once considered lost, but has since been found. Also, apparently there was no natural chemistry between Farrell and Nissen, but director Hawks was able to get them to pretend in a way that fooled audiences. He signed Nissen to play the lead in his next movie, Howard Hughes' "Hell's Angels", but it was shot as a silent, and then it was decided that it would be re-shot as a sound movie, which eliminated Nissen due to her heavy Norwegian accent, and she was fired and replaced by Jean Harlow, and the rest, as they say, is history!

Condition: good. paper loss in all four corners and in the middle of the right border; water stains and smudges throughout the card; darker staining down the left and right edges of the card; 1" tear in the lower part of the left border; This is the sort of poster that responds well to restoration.

This window card is in "lesser" condition (it is clearly in less than "very good" condition, and may be all the way down to "fair" condition, as we are selling a collection of early window cards that were found inside of a wall, and those all have water stains and other defects, which should be easily seen on our large images)! This window card has clear defects, which are likely to be very noticeable in our "large" or "super-sized" images that you can click on from our small image at right. In addition, we have also noted in words what these defects are in our "Description of Defects" section above, as some of these defects may not be all that visible in the images. We know that some collectors could accept this window card's defects, and display it as is, and we also know that many collectors would only be happy with this window card if they had it restored, so please do not bid on it unless you can accept it as it is, or are willing to pay to have it properly restored. Of course, you should realize that if you do not bid on this window card because of its condition defects, it may be quite some time before you see this window card offered again!
