Caption:
Faust (MGM-UFA, 1926). One Sheet (27 X 41). One of Germanys most important directors during the 1920s, F. W. Murnau was a cinematic genius. Best known as the director of Nosferatu (1922), he also filmed an early version of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920) and the brilliant character study Der Letzte Mann (1924), as well as this, a stunning adaptation of the Faust legend. With Gosta Ekman as Faust, an aged seeker of knowledge and pleasure who turns to dark forces to satisfy his longings, and Emil Jannings as Mephisto, the demonic servant who answers Fausts summons. Also featured was the lovely Camilla Horn as Gretchen, the woman with whom Faust falls in love. After a staggering six months of production and two million marks, Murnaus Faust is one of horrors most visually stunning cinematic nightmares, an archetypal tale of love, power, morality, temptation, and redemption that sizzles with passion hotter and redder than the Devil himself. This was the film that won Murnau a contract with Fox Studios in Hollywood and is voted by critics today as one of the best horror films of all time. This lot offers a lovely stone litho one sheet from the U.S. release of this classic masterpiece and is, we believe, the only copy of this one sheet known to exist. It is in fine condition and unrestored. The poster has some crossfold separation and some small tears within the horizontal and vertical folds. This poster is a vibrant white and it appears to be unused. Fine/Very Fine.
