Auction History Result 6s422 FINAL ACCORD German 38x55 '36 very early Douglas Sirk, woman is governess to her own baby! Date Sold 4/19/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded German Movie Poster (measures 37 1/2" x 54 1/2" [95 x 138 cm]) (Learn More) Schlussakkord (released in the U.S. as "Final Accord"), the 1936 Douglas Sirk (billed as "Detlef Sierck") German mother/child adoption music melodrama (about a poor German woman who becomes pregnant and gives up her baby for adoption; she moves to New York, but then she misses Germany too much, and she returns, and she manages to get a job as governess to her own baby, for the orchestra conductor and his mean wife who had adopted the baby!) starring Willy Birgel, Lil Dagover, Maria Tasnadi Fekete (billed as "Maria v. Tasnady"), Maria Koppenhofer, Theodor Loos, and Peter Bosse. Note that Douglas Sirk started making movies in Germany in 1934 when he was Detlef Sierck. This movie is remarkably like his great 1950s Hollywood tearjerkers! In 1939, he would move to Hollywood, and it would be five years before he again directed a movie, but in the 1950s, he became one of the most successful Hollywood directors. Very few posters survive from any of Sirk's German movies! 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 this is a "country of origin" poster for this German movie! There are very few German movie posters from before World War II in existence (because of the massive paper shortages in Germany during World War II), and most of those few are in museums. Condition: very good to fine. There is small separation at the left ends of the top and bottom horizontal folds, and tiny paper loss in the top left blank corner. Otherwise, the poster has the most minor fold and border wear and has survived in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
