Harvey Lilian Nils Rehearsing Silent Taxi 1927
EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating glimpse into the past: Lilian Harvey and Nils Asther engrossed in rehearsals for the German silent film, 'The Girl in the Taxi' (1927). In this evocative photograph, the charismatic actors, both in their twenties, are immersed in the jazz age atmosphere of the 1920s. Harvey, with her expressive eyes and enchanting smile, was a rising star in German cinema, while Asther, a Danish-American, was a seasoned stage and screen actor. However, this dynamic duo's collaboration was not meant to be. Asther, enticed by the allure of Hollywood, left Europe before the film's completion. Instead, Harvey's co-star became Willy Fritsch. Despite Asther's departure, the production of 'The Girl in the Taxi' continued, and Harvey's performance as the titular character, a cab driver's love interest, solidified her status as a leading actress in German silent films. This photograph, taken during the rehearsal process, offers a rare and intimate look into the world of early cinema. The image, with its focus on the intense connection between Harvey and Asther, transports us back to the 1920s and the golden age of silent film.
