actually I told Wim I think it may be a poster for Testament of Dr Mabuse.. the film where Mabuse is in an insane asylum
I think I recall a scene where he imagines himself being choked

Hi, Wim:

Looking at it, I thought at first it might be for a German version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. But as far as I can tell there was only one German film adaptation of that story and it was released in 1917 by another studio, not UFA (which had only just come into existence that year).

I'd say from the style of the artwork, though, that you're probably right that it's late 20s or early 30s. The style of the logo could also offer a clue as to when it dates from. You might go through some online examples of UFA posters and compare logos.

Hi, bought this UFA poster from the twenties on thirties. No clue what it is. It's suggested that it might be an export poster without titles.

Has anyone any info on this poster ior the export-story?
