An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Impersonation, the 1921 George Melford silent romantic melodrama ("He fooled the heads of two governments. Even his wife was deceived. No one guessed his real identity. Why? Because he was impersonating himself! It's the greatest surprise melodrama ever made."; "From the novel by E. Phillips Openheim"; a really wacky story of two Englishmen who are Oxford classmates and are identical, even though they are unrelated; years later, one is a military commander for the Germans in East Africa, and the other is an English spy there; it appears that the German commander poisons the Englishman and takes his place, able to even fool the man's wife, but in a surprise twist at the end of the movie, it is revealed that it is really the Englishman who killed the German commander, so he was actually "impersonating himself", and he fooled his wife into thinking he was "not himself"!) starring James Kirkwood (in a dual role as identical non-twins!), Ann Forrest, Winter Hall, Truly Shattuck, and Alan Hale Sr. Note that it is odd that this movie has what is supposed to be a great "twist" ending, and yet, the ending is revealed on the one-sheet for the movie. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
