EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the electric chemistry between Lilian Harvey and Nils Asther as they rehearse for the German silent film "The Girl in the Taxi" (1927). The image transports us back to the Jazz Age of the 1920s, an era of artistic innovation and cultural transformation. Harvey, a young and rising star, is seen intently focused on Asther's every move, her expressive eyes conveying a depth of emotion that would later become her trademark. Asther, with his chiseled features and enigmatic smile, exudes an air of mystery and allure. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the behind-the-scenes moments that often go unseen in the making of a film. However, this particular rehearsal would ultimately lead to an unexpected turn of events. Asther, who had already gained fame in Europe, left for Hollywood shortly before the film's production, and was replaced by Willy Fritsch as Harvey's co-star. Despite this change, "The Girl in the Taxi" went on to become a critical and commercial success, cementing Harvey's place as a leading actress in German cinema. This photograph, a rare glimpse into the past, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of 1920s silent film, a time when the magic of cinema was brought to life through the passion and dedication of its talented cast and crew.
