Hearts of the World
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and powerful silent film produced in 1918, directed by the legendary D.W. Griffith. This evocative poster, a captivating relic from the annals of cinematic history, advertises the film's emotional depth and star-studded cast. At the heart of this poster are the two Gishes, Lillian and Dorothy, whose ethereal beauty and expressive talents graced the silver screen during Hollywood's formative years. The sisters' hauntingly beautiful gazes, framed by delicate heart-shaped wreaths, serve as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The poster also features the enigmatic and captivating presence of Erich von Stroheim and the dashing charm of Ronald Colman. Stroheim, a master of portraying complex and often villainous characters, adds depth and intrigue to the film, while Colman's allure and charisma no doubt drew audiences to theaters. Set against the backdrop of World War One, "Hearts of the World" was a powerful propaganda tool, designed to tug at the heartstrings of audiences and galvanize support for the war effort. The poster's tear-jerking imagery and evocative tagline, "A Drama of Love, Death, and the Great War," underscored the film's emotional resonance and its importance as a cultural artifact of a pivotal moment in history. This stunning poster, with its intricate design and evocative imagery, is a testament to the power of cinema to transport audiences and evoke deep emotions. A must-have for any film history enthusiast or collector, it offers a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring impact of the silver screen on our collective imagination.
