An Original 1945 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" [14 x 22 cm]) (Learn More) Phantom of the Opera, the 1943 Arthur Lubin Universal musical horror thriller ("The Screen's Classic of Terror!"; based on the classic novel by Gaston Leroux, and a remake of the silent classic featuring Lon Chaney Sr.) starring Nelson Eddy, Susanna Foster (as Christine), Claude Rains (in the title role as Erique Claudin, the Phantom of the Opera), Edgar Barrier (as Raoul), Leo Carrillo, Jane Farrar, J. Edward Bromberg, Fritz Feld, Hume Cronyn, and "a cast of thousands"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this Spanish herald is quite a bit larger than most Spanish heralds (it is 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", whereas most of them are in the 3 1/2" x 5" to 4" x 6" range). Perhaps they made the herald extra large because they knew it would be a VERY popular movie! Also note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it. Condition: good. The herald is in pretty nice condition, but the printing from the back bleeds through in the light colored places in the front, which includes the stars' faces (see our images). This would be true of all examples of this herald that have printing on the back, but please take it into consideration before placing your bid. Learn More about condition grades
