An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Danish Movie Poster (measures 54 1/2" x 76 1/2" [138 x 194 cm]) (Learn More) Enhver (released in English-speaking countries as "Everyman"), the 1915 Vilhelm Gluckstad Danish silent good-vs-evil melodrama starring Rasmus Ottesen (in the title role as Enhver), Jonna Neiiendam, Gudrun Houlberg, Valdemar Moller, Peter S. Andersen, and Lilly Jansen. Note that in 1911, the German poet Hugo von Hofmansthal wrote a new version of the medieval morality play Everyman. At the time, it was radical example of symbolist abstraction, and its success inspired this film version. The film was set in the modern era, and depicted the moral choices confronting Enhver as a struggle between a good and an evil spirit. Enhver is tempted by evil and succumbs, rejecting God and leading a life of iniquity, but he is haunted by guilty visions until he finally dies, asking God for forgiveness at the last moment. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
