This is an authentic 1922 Swedish movie poster for En Farlig Hedersgäst (The Last Door), a silent mystery drama starring Eugène O’Brien and directed by William P. S. Earle for Seltznick Pictures.
Designed by Gunnar Håkansson, one of Sweden’s most talented early poster artists, this striking design embodies 1920s Art Deco elegance and intrigue. The composition contrasts a poised gentleman in black tie, cigarette in hand, against the bold silhouette of an armed figure, using vivid orange and crimson tones to create a sense of tension and drama.
Printed by Hagoström Lito and issued in Sweden by A.B. Svenska Biografteaterns Filmbryå, this poster promoted the Swedish release of the American film in 1922.
The poster is in good condition, with light creasing, paper loss at upper margin and minor wear consistent with age. The colors remain vivid and beautifully preserved.
A rare and visually captivating piece from the silent film era, this poster perfectly represents the artistry of early Swedish cinema promotion and would make a stunning framed display for collectors of Art Deco design, early Hollywood, or Scandinavian poster art.
