Auction History Result TWO ARABIAN KNIGHTS LC  Appears in Academy Award Winners Movie PostersBOOK SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the book we published as shown above. While we once owned this item, we did not auction it through eMoviePoster.com (which is why no price or date is listed) nor do we have it available for purchase. Two Arabian Knights, the 1927 Lewis Milestone (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) silent World War I (WWI) romantic love triangle military comedy (produced by Howard Hughes; a preposterous story of two English prisoners of war in a German POW camp during World War I; they are complete opposites and hate each other, but they join together in the camp in wanting to escape; they do that dressed as Arabs in robes made out of sheets, but once out of the camp, they are mistaken for Arab prisoners, and are sent to an Arabian prison camp!; once there, they make plans to escape, but they meet a beautiful young woman they both fall in love with, but she is being forced into a marriage to an evil sheik, so they decide to rescue her before they escape) starring William Boyd, Mary Astor, Louis Wolheim, Michael Vavitch, Ian Keith, and Boris Karloff. Note that Lewis Milestone won an Oscar for "Best Director, Comedy Picture" for this film, the first and only year that category appeared in the Academy Awards. Also note that this movie was early in Boris Karloff's career, and he was not prominently billed, and we don't know if he was pictured on any of the posters, because they are super rare, but we doubt that he was, because he played "the purser of the tramp steamer", which certainly wasn't a notable role.
