PRIVATE LIFE OF DON JUAN

Original British 12 inch x 18 inch Pressbook Cover for the 1934 Alexander Korda Adventure PRIVATE LIFE OF DON JUAN, based on the play by Henry Bataille and starring Douglas Fairbanks, Merle Oberon, Binnie Barnes, Melville Cooper, Gina Malo, Benita Hume, Owen Nares, Heather Thatcher, Diana Napier, Joan Gardner, Gibson Gowland, Barry MacKay, Claude Allister, Athene Seyler, Elsa Lanchester, Margaretta Scott and Abraham Sofaer.

Douglas Fairbanks Sr. makes his big-screen swan song with Korda’s deliciously satiric deflation of the Don Juan myth. After having faked his own death and escaped Seville, the aging lothario returns, only to find that he has been promptly forgotten; perhaps Merle Oberon’s raven-haired beauty can coax him back into business..

The cover has been conservation paper-backed with minor restoration. The overall size is now 13 inches x 19 inches.
