Der verlorene Sohn / Le Fils Prodigue

The German film Der verlorene Sohn (The prodigal Son) produced by Ufa and directed by famed actor, mountain–climber and woman's man Luis Trenker, was also released in France. The film was considered anti–American by the Allies in 1945 and was forbidden for re–release in post–war German zones of occupation. Today, the film is available in Germany as a commercial DVD release, and also in a Luis Trenker box set.

An original film still of Luis Trenker in a scene shot in New York City, from our Collection:

This French poster is the largest single poster we have in our Collection. It measures a huge 320 cm x 240 cm; or approximately 7.8 ft. x 10.4 ft. in dimension. It was meant to be adhered to a large outdoor advertising billboard or for use in the foyer of a large cinema. HENRI CERUTTI was the graphic artist.
