An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Captain Hates the Sea, the 1934 Lewis Milestone all-star high seas sailing romantic adventure screwball comedy ("A tidal wave of laughs!"; "All aboard the looney liner!"; "Story and Screen Play by Wallace Smith"; this was Columbia Pictures' answer to MGM's Grand Hotel, except set on a ship, and they put most of their top stars in the movie, but of course, they were not on the level of MGM's stars!) starring Victor McLaglen, John Gilbert (in his final role and the only time he didn't work with MGM), Alison Skipworth, Wynne Gibson, Helen Vinson, Walter Connolly (in the title role as Captain Helquist), Fred Keating, Leon Errol, Walter Catlett, Tala Birell, and the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Curly Howard, and Larry Fine). Note that this John Gilbert sound movie, like all his sound movies, completely dispels the myth that he had a high-pitched speaking voice, which ended his career! Actually, he had a fine speaking voice, and there is much speculation as to what it was that actually ended his career, and that can be found in various places on the Internet, but it was definitely not his voice! Also note that The Three Stooges play musicians, and that only Larry has any lines, which he delivers with a Yiddish accent! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this still likely has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has the letters "TRR". One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that 160 of the stills in this set of auctions come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of almost his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of those stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: very good.
