Auction History Result 4x438 DARK JOURNEY 13 English 8x10s '37 Vivien Leigh & Conrad Veidt, WWI spy thriller, ultra rare! Date Sold 2/26/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 13 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] English Movie Stills (Learn More) Dark Journey, the 1937 Victor Saville English World War I (WWI) romantic spy espionage thriller (based on the play by Lajos Biro; loosely based on the real life affair of couturiere Louise Cheruit and a high-ranking German officer during World War I; about a German spy who becomes romantically involved with a Frenchwoman who may be a spy for France, or may be an informer on France, or may be a double agent!; produced by Alexander Korda for London Films) starring Conrad Veidt, Vivien Leigh, Joan Gardner, Anthony Bushell, and Ursula Jeans. Note that this role got Vivien Leigh much attention, and most fans consider it her best movie from before Gone with the Wind, and it likely greatly helped her win the role of Scarlet O'Hara. Conrad Veidt on the other hand played the hero, but after this, he would become the ultimate villain, in movies like Casablanca and Thief of Bagdad! Note that, for unknown reasons, the first release movie paper on this title (which was through United Artists in both England and the U.S.) is incredibly rare! The movie was re-released in the U.S. in 1947 by Devonshire Films, and even that movie paper is incredibly rare! If anyone knows more about why this would be, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these stills, which are country of origin stills for this English movie, are beyond rare! As noted above, we have seen virtually no movie paper from either the first U.S. release or the first U.K. release (which were both through United Artists). These stills are from the first English United Artists release, and we have never auctioned even one of them before. Condition: very good. The stills are slightly "curled" at the top and bottom. There are a very few brown stains around the edges of some of the stills, and some have some creases scattered in the image. Please look at our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of these stills. Learn More about condition grades
