Auction History Result C488 DARK JOURNEY Argentinean movie poster '37 Vivien Leigh, Veidt Date Sold 6/15/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 42 1/2") (Learn More) Dark Journey, the 1937 Victor Saville English World War I (WWI) romantic spy espionage thriller (based on the play by Lajos Biro; loosely based on the real life affair of couturiere Louise Cheruit and a high-ranking German officer during World War I; about a German spy who becomes romantically involved with a Frenchwoman who may be a spy for France, or may be an informer on France, or may be a double agent!; produced by Alexander Korda for London Films) starring Conrad Veidt, Vivien Leigh, Joan Gardner, Anthony Bushell, and Ursula Jeans. Note that this role got Vivien Leigh much attention, and most fans consider it her best movie from before Gone with the Wind, and it likely greatly helped her win the role of Scarlet O'Hara. Conrad Veidt on the other hand played the hero, but after this, he would become the ultimate villain, in movies like Casablanca and Thief of Bagdad! Note that, for unknown reasons, the first release movie paper on this title (which was through United Artists in both England and the U.S.) is incredibly rare! The movie was re-released in the U.S. in 1947 by Devonshire Films, and even that movie paper is incredibly rare! If anyone knows more about why this would be, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
