An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Man Who Laughs, the classic 1928 Paul Leni Universal romantic horror thriller (based on the novel 'L'Homme Qui Rit' by Victor Hugo; about the son of an English nobleman whose father tries to overthrow the King, and his father is executed and his infant son is sold to gypsies, but first his mouth is cut so that it looks to be permanently smiling!; he ends up becoming a sideshow star and falls in love with a blind girl, but he feels certain she would be repulsed if she could see how hideous he looks) starring Conrad Veidt (in the title role as Gwynplaine, The Man Who Laughs), Mary Philbin (as Dea, the blind girl), Olga Baclanova, Stuart Holmes, Josephine Crowell, George Siegmann (as Dr. Hardquanonne), and Julius Molnar Jr. (as Gwynplaine as a child). Note that most film buffs might assume this movie was a German production, given that its top star (Conrad Veidt) and its director (Paul Leni) were both major figures of silent German cinema, but in fact, it is a U.S. production made by Universal Pictures (although of course, it was released in Germany, as well as in all other European countries). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good. The still was printed slightly off center, which causes the image to be at a slight angle. This was a somewhat common printing defect in vintage stills, and most collectors do not consider it a major defect if it is only slightly off center as it is in this case. Other than the above minor printing defect, there is tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner, and tiny pencil and pen writing in the left of the bottom blank border.
