Important Added Info: Note that it is extremely likely that these are "key book" stills (one of the ones not pictured is not a key book still, but the other 14 are), and it is virtually a certainty that the punch holes were put there by the studio at the time the stills were created, so they are not a defect. SUPER IMPORTANT! THIS LOT CONTAINS 15 STILLS, BUT ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 15 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the eight pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best eight stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Note that these stills measure 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm].

Condition: very good to fine.
