SKRATTA PAJAZZO [LAUGH, CLOWN, LAUGH] (1928) Swedish one sheet poster

Vintage original 27 x 38″ (70 x 98 cm) Swedish poster. Lon Chaney, Loretta Young, Nils Asther, Gwen Lee, dir: Herbert Brenon, MGM. On linen, near fine.

Lon Chaney ran the gamut in this story which spanned a 25-year period in the life of the circus clown known as Pagliacci, the clown who could not laugh. Perhaps his finest film performance, he also guided 14-year-old Loretta Young in her first featured role. One of the finest silent films, based on a story by David Belasco.

This poster by Swedish artists is spectacular with its circus theme, colors and deco presentation.
