Description

Wings of a Serf (Amkino Corporation, 1926). Russian Poster (28.5" X 42"). Original Title: Krylya Kholopa.
Czar Ivan the Terrible (Leonid Leonidov), is caught in a fictitious love triangle with his wife (Sofya Askarova) and her paramour (Ivan Klyukvin) in this historically inaccurate Russian film from Yuriy Tarich. Despite scathing reviews, the film saw record numbers when it opened in the U.S. two years after its Russian release. This country-of-origin poster, featuring some fantastic images, showed edge wear with small tears in all borders, and two tears in the lower border that extended into the title. Restoration has addressed these issues. Fine/Very Fine on Linen.
