Auction History Result 4c581 LOVES OF CASANOVA 1sh R80s Alexandre Volkoff directed, Ivan Mosjoukine! Date Sold 10/2/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1980s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/4" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Casanova (released in the U.S. in 1929 by MGM as "Loves of Casanova" and by Universal as "Prince of Adventurers"), the 1927 Alexandre Volkoff French silent romantic biography melodrama (a fictionalized biography of the legendary lover, showing his trip to Russia where he romanced Catherine The Great, and his subsequent return to Italy) starring Ivan Mozzhukhin (billed as "Ivan Mosjoukine"; in the title role as Casanova), Suzanne Bianchetti (as Catherine the Great), Diana Karenne, Jenny Jugo, Rina De Liguoro, and Olga Day. Note that we have previously auctioned a rotogravure one-sheet from this movie that had the title "Loves of Casanova" and was distributed by MGM. Yet these lobby cards have the title "Prince of Adventurers" and has Universal as the distributor! We strongly suspect that there was a distribution deal made between the producers of the movie and Universal, and that it fell apart at the last minute, after posters (or at least these lobby cards!) were created, but before it made it to theaters, and that then a new deal was made with MGM (this would also explain why two years went by between the making of the movie and the U.S. release.) If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 27 1/4" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
