Auction History Result 5d556 EMPIRE IN THE SUN Spanish herald 1956 forgotten Peruvian documentary with Lavagnino score! Date Sold 4/7/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 4 1/2" x 6" [11 x 15 cm]) (Learn More) L'Impero Del Sole (released in the U.S. as "Empire in the Sun"), the 1956 Enrico Gras & Mario Craveri Italian/French Peru musical documentary short (with music by Lavagnino) featuring Mathe Altery. Note that this movie is completely forgotten today, but it is very interesting, and SHOULD be remembered! It is a semi-documentary about the people of Peru following a young couple through their courtship, marriage, and birth of their baby, with a backdrop of Peruvian scenery and events, including a trip by train to the Amazon Jungle, to lake Titicaca, to the carnival, and also a bullfight. The musical score that runs throughout the documentary is by Lavagnino, who was a leading Italian composer for movie scores, doing over 200 of them, including many important movies. In 1957, this movie tied for first prize with "Nights of Cabiria" at the David di Donatello Italian film festival, showing how highly it was thought of at that time. The score of the movie has only recently been released, and hopefully the movie itself will get new recognition. Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Condition: fair to good.
