BERNICE CLAIRE - WALTER PIDGEON "KISS ME AGAIN" 1932 MOVIE HERALD

Description

Original Herald from Uruguay and Argentina in South America. This kind of gorgeous heralds are quite scarce, they were printed by a local distributor (Max Glücksmann) just during a short period of time between the late 1920's and the late 1930's. Usually printed on both sides, in full color or in duotone inks featuring Art Deco style, they show great graphics from the films advertised. Most advertise a single feature movie, while a few examples advertise double movie programs.

Comments:
"Kiss Me Again" is a 1931 American Pre-Code musical operetta film filmed entirely in Technicolor. It was originally released in the United States as "Toast of the Legion" late in 1930, but was quickly withdrawn when Warner Bros. realized that the public had grown weary of musicals. The Warner Bros. believed that this attitude would only last for a few months, but, when the public proved obstinate, they reluctantly re-released the film early in 1931 after making a few cuts to the film. Like the 1926 silent First National film "Mademoiselle Modiste", "Kiss Me Again" is based on a popular 1905 operetta on Broadway, "Mlle. Modiste", by Victor Herbert and Henry Martyn Blossom.
Plot:
A French shopgirl (Bernice Claire) obeys her parents by leaving her lover to become an opera star.
