Description

Betrayal (Paramount, 1929). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14"). Directed by Lewis Milestone, who would, in later years, helm such important pictures as All Quiet on the Western Front, The Front Page, Of Mice and Men, and the original Ocean's 11, this early partial-talkie co-starred a young Gary Cooper as the artist Andre Frey, whose lover, Vroni (Esther Ralston), is forced to marry wealthy burgomeister Poldi Moser (Emil Jannings). Years pass, but Frey's grief never dims, until tragedy resolves the situation in the end. Offered here is the striking and dramatic title card, featuring an intense portrait of Jannings. It displays edge wear with slight chipping at the bottom border, pinholes near the center of the image, rounded corners, and light surface scuffing. These minor flaws do little to detract from the overall appeal of this dynamic card, which presents very nicely. Fine.
