Tabu was the great German director F. W. Murnau's last film (he died shortly before its premiere due to a car accident), and one of the final masterpieces of silent film. Murnau traveled to Bora Bora with documentary filmmaker Robert Flaherty, with whom he worked on some early versions of the script, but disputes arose and Flaherty bowed out. (Wikipedia)

Lobby cards from this film are genuinely rare. This card, with the film's two protagonists in the center, turns up almost never.
