Four-color offset lithograph poster. 61x45.5 cm (24x18"). One of 25 signed copies from a total edition of 190. First Edition. Signed by David Lance Goines at lower right corner. Produced for the Pacific Film Archive at the behest of Tom Luddy. The Blue Angel is a 1930 German tragicomedic film directed by Josef von Sternberg and starring Marlene Dietrich, Emil Jannings, and Kurt Gerron. "The theme is light and heavy. Here Emil Jannings' egg is balanced precariously on Marlene Deitrich's unforgiving anvil. What is going to happen to that egg? Whatever it is, it won't be good for Janning's lacerated spirit, while the innocent catalyst of his destruction will scarcely feel a thing. He brought it on himself, you might say, and there's no fool like an old fool. But if we were each of us punished in proportion to our mistakes, especially those of the heart, there'd be no room to spare in Purgatory." - David Lance Goines DLG 17.
