LOVE PARADE

Original British 10 inch x 8 inch Front-of-House Still (Lobby Card) of JEANETTE MACDONALD & MAURICE CHEVALIER in the 1929 Ernst Lubitsch Musical THE LOVE PARADE, based on the play “The Prince Consort” by Leon Xanrof & Jules Chancel.

Ernst Lubitsch’s first “talking picture” was also Hollywood’s first movie musical to integrate songs with narrative. Additionally, The Love Parade made stars out of toast-of-Paris Maurice Chevalier and girl-from-Philly Jeanette MacDonald, cast as a womanizing military attaché and the man-hungry queen of “Sylvania.” With its naughty innuendo and satiric romance, The Love Parade opened the door for a decade of witty screen battles of the sexes.

The still is in very good condition.
