Cinema poster for `Dangerous Love`

In the summer of 1939, the French film Feu!, made in 1937, was released in Poland under the title Dangerous Love. The picture was directed by Jacques de Baroncelli. In Lublin, the film was screened at the popular Apollo cinema on 6 Peowiaków Street (former Szpitalna Street). It was the first cinema with sound in the city. Like many other cinemas, it ensured its own publicity in the local press and through posters with the current repertoire, which were hung on advertising poles or in front of the entrance to its premises.

The Lublin premiere of Dangerous Love was advertised with cinema posters made in the ‘Praca’ printing house at 3 Królewska Street, owned by Izrael Lipszyc since 1926. The print included the Polish translation of the film's title as Fire!

The leading roles in this successful film production were played by Victor Francen and Edwige Feuillère. The plot revolves around arms smuggling in the Mediterranean Sea. The leader of the smuggling gang was the beautiful Eliza Elno, with whom the commander of one of the torpedo boats, Commander André Frémiet, falls in love (and his love is reciprocated).

The French drama, positively reviewed in the national press, was one of the last films screened in Lublin before the outbreak of the Second World War. The story of the tragic lovers returned to Polish cinemas only in 1945.
