Australia Day Movie Poster Auction the world has ever seen...January 26,
2015.
From Sweden starring the German actress Lil Dagover, once declared the
most beautiful woman in Berlin...
*Matrimony (1927) - Original Australian Long Daybill Movie Poster
*
Matrimony: "A vivid love drama enacted amid the lumberlands of the
North" starring Lil Dagover and Gosta Ekman.
First released in Australia in 1929 it was originally released in Sweden
in 1927 under the title Hans Engelska Fru (released in the US as
*Discord* and *His English Wife* in the UK). Part of the film is set
among high society in London, with German actress Lil Dagover as a widow
once more attending dinner parties and charity events, while the rest is
set in the countryside of northern Sweden, where Finnish actor Urho
Somersalmi (most renowned for his performance as the stranger in
Stiller’s Johan) portrays a rich landowner who also happens to be the
main creditor of her family’s fortune.*
*The poster was produced by the famed Richardson Studio which was
founded by John Richardson in the early 1920s. He had been a poster
artist prior to this and had produced the artwork for a number of
posters for silent films during this era. In the very early 20s posters
produced by The Richardson Studio would carry a tag at the bottom of the
poster "Drawn by Richardson Studio" and later "The poster produced by
Richardson Studio". A very few posters have been found that bear the
signature of John Richardson and these are highly desired among poster
collectors around the world...
Please enjoy your sneak peak at this lovely piece being auctioned on
www.Bidll.com on January 26th 2015; I've also included a couple of
photographic images from the movie, the first from which (now obviously)
the poster was designed the second shows the director Gustaf Molander
instructing Lil Dagover and Urho Somersalmi during the shooting. *
