Habanera
One sheet Spanish movie poster for the 1937 German film titled
La Habanera.
Movie Information
Title: La Habanera
Release Year: 1937
Director: Detlef Sierck (later known as Douglas Sirk)
Starring: Zarah Leander, Ferdinand Marian, Karl Martell
Music: Lothar Brühne
Synopsis: A young Swedish woman, Astree, vacationing in Puerto Rico, falls in love with the island and its wealthy, passionate landowner, Don Pedro de Avila, impulsively deciding to marry him and stay. Ten years later, she is unhappy in her marriage and longs for her European homeland's "pure white snow" and climate, as her husband has become jealous and controlling. A Swedish doctor and old friend, Sven Nagel, arrives to investigate a mysterious tropical fever, creating further tension and offering Astree a chance to return home.
Context: The film was produced in Nazi Germany and is widely considered a soft-sell propaganda piece, using the story to promote "Eurocentric and colonialist ideology" and suggest that Nordic people are better off with their own kind in their home countries.
The
artist who designed the original vintage La Habanera movie poster pictured is not immediately identifiable by name in the search results, but the poster itself indicates it was produced by a studio or company called Atelier Horstmann.
This means the work was likely created by one of the commercial artists employed by that studio at the time, rather than a single, individually credited artist whose name is widely circulated today.
