Auction History Result 6x091 GOLEM orange French 1p '36 directed by Julien Duvivier, incredible different art by Yber! Date Sold 11/2/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 46 1/2" x 62 3/4" [118 x 159 cm]) (Learn More) Le Golem (released in the U.S. in 1937 as "The Golem", "The Golem: The Legend of Prague"; and "The Man of Stone"), the 1936 Julien Duvivier French/Czechoslovakian horror fantasy melodrama starring Harry Baur, Charles Dorat, Jany Holt, Roger Karl, and Germaine Aussey. Note that Paul Wegener made two movies called "The Golem" in 1915 and 1920, and both were based on the ancient Jewish fairy tale of a Frankenstein-like monster that could be created out of mud or clay to liberate them from oppression. This movie is a sequel to the earlier classic movie, and was intended to be filmed in Germany, but by 1936, the huge anti-Jewish sentiment there caused it to be moved to France, where one of France's best directors, Julien Duvivier, was assigned to direct it. It is a sequel to the earlier movie, and the plot has the Rabbi from the first movie (who controlled the Golem) dead, and a new Rabbi hides the Golem, intending to bring him out when he is most needed (he does not make his appearance until the final 5 minutes of the movie)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Yber Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this partially French movie! Condition: good. There is a foreign stamp in the top left corner and ink transfer from that stamp in the bottom left corner. There are a great number of tape repairs on the back of parts of the borders and parts of the foldlines, and some of the tape has bled through to the front in varying degrees (please study our super-sized image to get an idea of where the bleed-through is). Obviously, this poster has significant flaws, but it is the only example of it we have ever seen or heard of, and certainly, a talented restorer could remove the tape from the back and linenback it, but please bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster!
