An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Undercurrent, the 1946 Vincente Minnelli romantic family relationship crime film noir ("Please don't tell the terrific ending!"; "Based on a story by Thelma Strabel"; about a woman who impulsively marries a man, and then discovers he has a brother who has mysteriously vanished, and she comes to suspect that he has murdered the missing brother) starring Katharine Hepburn ("Never so exciting!"), Robert Taylor ("He's back! And it's his greatest role!"), Robert Mitchum, Edmund Gwenn, Marjorie Main, Jayne Meadows (in her first movie role!; on some stills she is referred to as "Jayne Cotter"), Clinton Sundberg, and Dan Tobin. Note that the tagline after Robert Taylor's credit about him being "back" refers to this being his first movie after he finished his military service during World War II. Also note that Lorraine Day had agreed to to appear in the movie "Keep Your Powder Dry" on the condition that she star in this movie, but then MGM reneged on the deal, and Day asked to be released from her contract and MGM obliged. Finally, note that there was a long-standing story that Katharine Hepburn felt Mitchum was a poor actor who only got by on his looks, and that she told him so to his face, but when Mitchum appeared on the Dick Cavett TV show, he said that this was a complete myth, and that he and Hepburn got along really well! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this still 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 the still (and many others we are auctioning 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 his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the 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 to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
