Date Sold 12/3/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Stills (Learn More) Tillie's Punctured Romance, the 1928 A. Edward Sutherland silent circus screwball comedy (produced by Al Christie; about the ringmaster of a circus, played by W.C. Fields, who schemes to get the owner of the circus into the lion cage, so he will be killed and the ringmaster will take over, and later, he ends up using the circus animals to help the troops in World War I!) starring W.C. Fields, Chester Conklin, Louise Fazenda (in the title role as Tillie), Mack Swain, Doris Hill, and Babe London (a large heavyset woman who was very typecast in comedy roles involving large women). Note that this movie bears no relation to the 1914 Charlie Chaplin movie of the same name, but because this movie is a "lost movie" (no known examples of it exist), it is often mistakenly described as a remake, when all the two movies have in common is the same name. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that movie paper of any kind from this W.C. Fields silent movie is incredibly scarce (we have only seen three items from this lost film).
Also, note that the stills are glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely that these are key book stills, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top or left of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame).
