THIS is a really cool poster, for the reasons discussed below:



Die Goldene Stadt (released in English speaking countries as "The Golden City"), the 1942 Veit Harlan German family relationship poor-girl-goes-to-the-big-city melodrama (about the daughter of a rich man who lives in the country, who wants to go to "the golden city" [Prague], and her father forbids her, and she goes anyway and lives with her aunt, and then her evil cousin gets her pregnant, and then he leaves her when he finds out her father has disinherited her, and she commits suicide) starring Kristina Soderbaum, Eugen Klopfer, Annie Rosar, Liselotte Schreiner, Paul Klinger, Kurt Meisel, and Rudolf Prack.

Note that there are many interesting aspects about this movie! First, this was a Nazi movie that was released in occupied France, and while it is not a movie that glorifies Nazism, it was made by those who made the worst Nazi movies (see below). Also note that Josef Goebbels ordered the ending of this movie changed (originally, the girl returned to her father, but Goebbels wanted her dead for having become pregnant out of wedlock!).

Also, Goebbels did not want Joachim Gottschalk in the movie, even though he was a much loved German actor, and he had his scenes re-shot with Paul Klinger. What did Goebbels have against Gottschalk? Shortly before the Nazis came to power, he had married a Jewish woman and had a son. He was so popular with the public that the Nazis tolerated his Jewish wife and son, but in 1939, Gottschalk took his wife to a Nazi social function, and when Josef Goebbels learned of the incident, he told Gottschalk to leave his wife and child. Gottschalk refused and Goebbels ordered them sent to a concentration camp. Gottschalk took his wife and son, and they killed their son and committed suicide. Goebbels ordered that no mention be made of the incident, but his death was reported in the newspapers anyway, but no one learned the truth of how he had died until after the war!

Also, this movie was directed by Veit Harlan, and most of the movies he made during the Nazi era (many starring his wife Kristina Soderbaum) were added to the "forbidden" movies list, because they included some of the most vile movies ever, including "Jud Suss". After the war, he was tried for war crimes, but he argued that he had been forced to direct "Jud Suss", but Joseph Goebbels' diary showed that he had been enthusiastic in making it, and the diary said "Harlan did a great job. It is the most anti-Semitic movie"! Yet in 1950, Harlan and Soderbaum were allowed to again make movies, but they only did a few minor ones. It is also interesting to note that Harlan's niece was Susanne Christian, who married Stanley Kubrick, who was Jewish!

That she loves you enough to take time and thought to buy you something that you would like, and something that anyone especially a non collector would feel is expensive and a waste of money, except that you would love it.

Have you seen how many I have already?  At least 10...  One for every year we've been together.

What if it was true?  What if my Christmas present every year was a Ferris Bueller poster?  Now, that would be cool,,,   puke2

At least you could remember how many years you've been married, and what fun celebrating your fiftieth.

First, congrats on Bruce and the consignor.
Now, can someone please tell me if there's a new drug being tested on Bond collectors? One that fucks the brain very bad?
Someone just paid  $465 for a trimmed, beat up one sheet for "From Russia with Love"



None previous results of the same poster at emovie are superior to $105 (Damn, just a while ago Bruce sold one in good condition, on linen, for $68!!!)



Is it me getting old and grumpier (as Ari does)??

Guess you had better go find a pile while Bond is hot Matias.  So before the glow from Skyfall wears off...

There has to be... that's the only explanation for this.. http://auctions.emovieposter.com/Bidding.taf?_function=detail&Auction_uid1=2807766

Italian 2F 70's RR for Dr. No, went for double what it normally sells for.  Even the From Russia With Love 2F went about $500 more than I would have thought, but at least that's A LOT rarer.

I've learned not to be too surprised anymore. Emovie has become too popular, great for Bruce but bad for us.  I rarely win anything anymore, but usually it works out in the end as can find the same poster on eBay for half the price some nut just paid.
