PART 1 Film scene cards are similar to movie stills, in that they feature a scene from a movie. The film scene cards print the name of the film (sometimes in several different languages), as well as (usually) the actors portrayed. Most of the portrait/personality cards show scenes from films, of course, but the film is not named on the card. Film scene cards were advertised as "Szenen-Postkarten". There were two blocks of numbers set aside for film scene cards: Around #1 through #200 and around #568 through #700 (having taken over from the Film Sterne film scene card numbering). However, there were also other film scene cards interspersed throughout the entire run. ![]() The first film scene card with the Ross Verlag name on it.
