Auction History Result 4d0400 CRADLE SONG insert 1933 close-up Dorothea Wieck, ten million hearts will THRILL, rare! Date Sold 5/3/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Cradle Song, the 1933 Mitchell Leisen romantic religious nun convent melodrama ("The new thrill of the screen"; "A new star to thrill ten million hearts!"; "When her eyes open... ten million hearts will thrill!!"; "To see her once is to remember her always!"; based on the Spanish play by Gregorio Martinez Sierra; about a group of nuns who raise an orphan girl, and when that girl grows up, she herself helps the nuns raise a baby; when that baby grows up, she wants to leave the convent, and the woman who spent her entire life there, who was her surrogate mother, reluctantly lets her go) starring Dorothea Wieck, Evelyn Venable, Guy Standing, Louise Dresser, and Kent Taylor (in his fourth credited role!). Note that this was the only film version of what was a very popular and famous Spanish play, and Paramount apparently had huge hopes that Dorothea Wieck (a Swiss actress who had appeared in a bunch of German movies, including the lesbian cult classic "Madchen in Uniform") might be another Greta Garbo, but apparently the movie and Miss Wieck did not catch on with American audiences, and she appeared in one other American movie, and then returned to Germany where she made movies for many years.

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had a number of scuff marks, both small and long, scattered throughout the poster, with some pinholes around the edges. It appears that someone did some slight touch up to some of those areas, but without backing the poster. From a reasonable viewing distance, the poster displays pretty well, but from close up, you can clearly see signs of the defects, so bear that in mind before bidding.
