Note that this was adapted from a book by two writers, including June Mathis, a legendary screenwriter. We don't know how much of this wild plot was in the book and how much was added, and of course, director Tod Browning was known for really strange movies, including "Dracula" and "Freaks", so he might well have contributed to the plot as well. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that two of these stills are printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock! SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 21 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best 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. Condition: very good. One (not pictured) has a diagonal crease. Other than a few minor border defects or light scuff marks that are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light the stills are in pretty nice condition, especially given their age!
