Date Sold 7/17/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Movie World Premiere Hardcover Program Book (measures 5 1/4" x 7 3/4" [13 x 20 cm]; 28 pages) (Learn More) The Thief of Bagdad, the classic 1924 Raoul Walsh silent Arabian Nights romantic action adventure fantasy thriller ("'He will steal your heart away!'"; from the story by Achmed Abdullah; about a thief in ancient Arabia, who poses as a Prince to win the hand of a Princess, but when he does, he confesses to her, and he is flogged and thrown out; he enters a contest to win her hand, but he must go on an extremely dangerous journey to win it!) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (in the title role as The Thief of Bagdad), Snitz Edwards, Charles Belcher, Julanne Johnston (as The Princess), Sojin, Anna May Wong, and Noble Johnson (as The Indian Prince). Note that there is a 1940 movie of the same name which borrows elements of the plot of this movie, but is really not a remake (although both movies are really wonderful and are both "classics"!). Finally, note that Mitchell Leisen (well regarded director of 1930s and 1940s romantic comedies) did the wonderful costumes for this movie! He had started as a costume designer in 1921, and in 1922, he did the costumes for Fairbanks' Robin Hood, and after doing the costumes for this movie, he also became an art director, which led to his first directing assignment in 1933! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the beginning of this great hardcover world premiere program book begins with full-page images of the director and stars. It is no surprise that art director William Cameron Menzies gets a full page image, but it was nice to see that costume designer Mitchell Leisen was also given a full page (but sadly, his last name was spelled "Leison"). Note that we have pictured the front cover and several interior 2-page spreads from this program. Condition: very good to fine. The interior pages have minor wear, but overall, the book is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
