16mm Film Confessions Of A Nazi Spy (1939) Edward G. Robinson (Warner Bros)
Item History & Price
This auction is for a beautiful 16mm original print of the 1939 Warner Bros film CONFESSIONS OF A NAZI SPY.
In the wake of a trial that convicted four Nazi agents of spying against the U.S., Warner Bros. became the first Hollywood studio to fire a salvo at Hitler's Germany. Months before World War II erupted it released this thriller based on revelations that emerged from the trial and other real-life sources. The story is a brisk connect-the-dots tale that ties German-American Bund... operatives (Francis Lederer, George Sanders and Paul Lukas among others) to Berlin. Chief among those connecting the dots: FBI Agent Edward Renard (Edward G. Robinson). The drama wasn't limited to the screen. Production personnel received threats and violence erupted at some screenings. Directed with hard-hitting verve by Anatole Litvak, Confessions of a Nazi Spy struck a nerve in its era. It remains a milestone of filmmaking commitment today.
Sharp Original Print in Very Good/Excellent Condition. No Vinegar Smell. Comes mounted on three 1600ft. reels.
We are always selling hard to find prints like this, so keep checking our listings.
Pictures above are all from the actual film being offered taken while the print was running on a projector. Film is much sharper than pictures indicate. Some pictures might be more out of focus than others due to the camera used NOT the actual print.
Any questions at all feel free to ask and thanks for looking!
