Rare vintage 3.5 x 6-inch biographical form, which he signed in blue fountain pen alongside a handwritten list of film credits, dating to the 1950s.  A few crinkles; otherwise, in good condition for its age.  Note that the image of the star shown alongside the scan of autographed item here is not actually included with the piece.  Great Bavarian-born stand and film character actor Tonio Selwart was the quintessential silver screen villain, almost invariably cast as members of the Third Reich in war pictures, as in Hangmen Also Die! (1943), The Cross of Lorraine (1943), The Hitler Gang (1944), Concert of Intrigue (1954), and Anzio (1968).  His non-Nazi credits include Edge of Darkness (1943), Strange Affair (1944), The Barefoot Contessa (1954), and Senso (1954).
