Description

My Friend the Devil (Fox, 1922). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Based on the novel Doctor Rameau by Georges Ohnet, this drama portrays a man (Ben Grauer) who sees his mother killed by lightning and becomes an atheist and proceeds to ruin the lives of everyone he loves including his wife and daughter. His wife dies tragically after having an affair with an artist and the protagonist is finally led back to a belief in God by the spirit of his dead wife. The best thing about this film has to be the fabulous posters produced for it, showing the Devil at work. We sold another style one sheet for this film in 2007, that arguably was not as great as this poster. The poster has been professionally restored and has had minimal restoration to the folds and a small chip from the left border. Very Fine on Linen.
