Scarce Original 1929 Movie Still 8x10 Photo THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY 411-150

Description: Scarce Original 1929 Movie Still 8x10 Photo THE BRIDGE OF SAN LUIS REY 411-150 This one shows the actual bridge created for the movie, and is quite sharp. Condition is good, with light handling, and small marginal corner creases upper right and lower left. This photograph is in better condition than the one being used on IMDb! Interestingly, the movie storyline on IMDb reads, "A rope bridge over a gorge in the Peruvian Andes snaps, sending five people plunging to their deaths. A priest sets out to find out more about the life of each of the victims." But if you look at this movie set foot bridge, the stream is a mere couple of feet below the span. I doubt anyone would suffer more than a scratch in a collapse. The Bridge of San Luis Rey (1929) is a film released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in both silent and part-talkie versions. The film was directed by Charles Brabin and starred Lili Damita and Don Alvarado. Only the silent version exists at the George Eastman House film archive. The film closely follows the bestselling 1927 Thornton Wilder novel of the same name and won the second Academy Award for Best Art Direction. The film and novel are very loosely based on the real-life story of Micaela Villegas (1748–1819), a famous Peruvian entertainer known as La Perichole. Her life was also the inspiration for the novella Le Carrosse du Saint-Sacrement by Prosper Mérimée; the opéra bouffe La Périchole by Jacques Offenbach; and Jean Renoir’s 1953 film Le Carrosse d'or (The Golden Coach). Directed by Charles Brabin; Written by Marian Ainslee, Ruth Cummings, Alice D. G. Miller, Thornton Wilder (novel); Produced by Hunt Stromberg; Starring Lili Damita, Duncan Renaldo, Raquel Torres; Cinematography Merritt B. Gerstad. 211130 / 1414 R12/2/2021 AUS _____________________________ Orders over $10 will require package service with delivery confirmation.
