eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 5m0015 LOT OF 6 WHILE NEW YORK SLEEPS 8X10 STILLS 1938 director Humberstone's personal candids! Date Sold 8/23/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 6 8x10 stills from While New York Sleeps, the 1938 H. Bruce Humberstone Roving Reporters newspaper journalism crime thriller sequel (about newspaper reporters trying to solve murders while romancing pretty women) starring Michael Whalen, Jean Rogers, Chick Chandler, Robert Kellard, Joan Woodbury, Harold Huber, and Marc Lawrence. Note that there were three Roving Reporters films; Time Out for Murder, While New York Sleeps, and Inside Story. Evidently they did not do well, so no further movies in the series were made. 20th Century-Fox at this time specialized in these types of series of B-movies (including Mr. Moto, Charlie Chan, etc.). Note that this lot and 21 others we are currently auctioning, were owned by director H. Bruce Humberstone (nicknamed "Lucky"). He was born in 1901 and he started as a juvenile actor, and in his teens, he became a script clerk, and then worked his way up to being an assistant director to many top directors, including King Vidor. In 1932, he directed his first movie, and he worked steadily through the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, directing one last movie in 1961. He directed both "A" and "B" movies, including some Tarzan, Charlie Chan, Cisco Kid, and more, and some of his movies have cult status, including "I Wake Up Screaming"! The 22 lots we are currently auctioning include a large number of stills (many of them key books and some include lots of incredible candids showing Humberstone) from movies that he either directed or was the assistant director on, and there are also some non-still items as well, including his personal phone/address book, which had the phone numbers of all the top stars of that time! This is a rare opportunity to obtain large numbers of guaranteed original stills and other items from Humberstone movies that were the property of the man himself! Condition: very good to fine.
