Movie Poster The Chocolate Soldier Nelson Eddy Jacques
Original vintage movie trade ad for the 1941 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical film The Chocolate Soldier directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Nelson Eddy and Rise Stevens. Using the original music by Oscar Straus the plot is somewhat loosely based on the Ferenc Molnar play entitled Testor. Sweets themed artwork by renowned artist Jacques Kapralik showing caricatures of Nelson Eddy and Rise Stevens as toys standing on a box of sweets. Lithographed In USA. Jacques Kapralik was a Romanian American caricaturist best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s. Born in Bucharest, Romania, Kapralik came to the United States in 1936. He specialized in designing miniature models resembling film stars, which were then photographed against backgrounds giving a three-dimensional effect. Although Kapralik's work occasionally appeared onscreen in films such as Presenting Lily Mars, most of his output was devoted to publicity materials in trade magazine ads and press kits. Kapralik died in 1960, in Los Angeles, California. Good condition, faint creases and staining in margins. Double-sided. Year of printing: 1941, country of printing: USA, designer: Jacques Kapralik, dimensions (cm): 32x24.
