A vintage movie poster of ''Thirty-day Princess'', a romantic comedy film released in 1934. Directed by Marion Gering, the film stars Sylvia Sidney and Cary Grant in the lead roles. It's a lighthearted and entertaining story with elements of mistaken identity and romance. Here's a description of the film:
Plot:
"Thirty-Day Princess" revolves around the character of Sylvia Sidney, who plays two roles in the film. She is both Patricia, a struggling American actress, and her look-alike, Nancy Lane, a newspaper reporter.
The story begins with Nancy Lane, a newspaper reporter assigned to cover the visit of a European princess to New York City. However, the princess falls ill and cannot fulfill her royal duties. In a twist of fate, Nancy is asked to pose as the princess to maintain appearances and prevent a scandal.
Meanwhile, Patricia, a struggling American actress, is mistaken for the princess while traveling in Europe. Patricia is hired to impersonate the princess for a lavish coronation ceremony.
As both Patricia and Nancy play their respective roles, the film explores the comedic situations and complications that arise from mistaken identities. Cary Grant's character, Porter Madison III, becomes involved with both women, leading to romantic entanglements and humorous misunderstandings.
Throughout the film, Patricia and Nancy must navigate the challenges of maintaining their royal deceptions while dealing with their growing feelings for Porter Madison III.
"Thirty-Day Princess" is a delightful romantic comedy that combines elements of comedy, romance, and mistaken identity. It provides a showcase for Sylvia Sidney's versatility as an actress, playing two distinct roles, and Cary Grant's charm and charisma add to the film's appeal.
While not as well-known as some of Cary Grant's later films, "Thirty-Day Princess" is a charming and entertaining entry in the romantic comedy genre of the 1930s. It offers audiences a light and enjoyable story filled with humor and romance.
About the artist:
Eric Wilhelm Rohman (May 18, 1891, Nyköping, Sweden— Jan. 6, 1949, Stockholm) was a Swedish illustrator and advertising artist.
The crisp and essential style of Rohman is striking in his movie posters. His traits are well outlined and sharp and give life to the characters; he uses few colors and is never too loud, he has a great originality in managing the composition and the construction of space.
The Swedish artist creates movie posters that are caricatured and powerful in the representation, with high graphic settings. He depicts essential backgrounds of cities, apartment interiors, airplanes, bars, or simple backgrounds with geometric patterns. Rohman's posters attract the audience's attention creating curious scenes, geometric and coherent in the narrative but never static. That never gets boring.
He was raised in Helsingborg, where he discovered a passion for drawing and acting after his undergraduate education. To satisfy his newfound craving, he spent years studying under Swedish painter and illustrator Carl Wilhelmson at the Gothenburg Academy of the Arts. He took side work creating advertising illustrations for newspapers to pay his tuition. He also designed and drew several book covers and books.
Rohman had a brother who managed a large chain of theaters, which needed a constant supply of original art for film posters. Rohman then began working for his brother, which launched his career as a poster designer. In 1921 he was the only person in Sweden who worked full-time creating poster illustrations.
However, to fulfill the theater's demand, he had to work quickly. As a result, he designed four or five posters every week. But he was nonetheless generally still able to bring out the essential details of the film and its actors to express the essence of a film's theme.
