Farsangi mámor (postcard)
Description
Contemporary postcard used to advertise the film in its native country, here showing the unhappy couple, married by necessity (Szvetiszláv Petrovits, Ica von Lenkeffy). Szvetiszláv Petrovits was born Svetislav Ivan Petrović in 1894 in Újvidék (today Novi Sad in Serbia). He was also known by the names Ivan Petrovich and Borislav Petrowitsch (the Hungarian version of his name is sometimes written Petrovich or Petrovics). He began his career at Sascha Film, Vienna, in 1920, subsequently starring in ten Hungarian films for the Star and Corvin film companies in Budapest. Thanks to his singing talent he made a successful transition to talking pictures and he worked in Germany, France and Hollywood. He made more than a hundred films during his career. He died in Munich in 1962. Ica von Lenkeffy (1896-1955) was one of the first and most popular Hungarian female film stars. She began her career in 1912, going on to act in 25 Hungarian films. In the 1920s she worked in Vienna, Berlin and Paris. In 1922 she starred opposite Emil Jannings in Russian director Dimitri Buchowetzki's film adaptation of Othello by William Shakespeare. Unfortunately her career ended with the introduction of sound in cinema because her voice wasn't apt for talking pictures. Gyöngyi Balogh / Oliver Hanley, 06.12.2010
