Auction History Result 9p001 MOONTIDE 40 8x10 key book stills '42 best reference photos of sets, Fritz Lang & Archie Mayo! Date Sold 7/27/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 40 Original Vintage Movie Set Reference 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Key Book Stills (Learn More) Moontide, the 1942 Fritz Lang & Archie Mayo romantic film noir melodrama ("Different! Jean Gabin is not only an altogether new type, girls! He's got a different technique of love making. Don't ask! See it - in Moontide..."; "Thrill to discovering a new star!"; based on the novel by Willard Robertson; a strange movie about a waterfront worker who is afraid he may have killed a man when he was drunk, and he hides out on a barge with his best friend, but he meets a prostitute who tries to kill herself, and he lets her live there as well, and the friend is jealous and afraid that she will leave him the odd man out, and he tries to get rid of her) starring Jean Gabin ("His first American picture!"), Ida Lupino, Thomas Mitchell, Claude Rains, Jerome Cowan, and Helene Reynolds. Note that legendary director Fritz Lang had left Germany to escape Hitler in the early 1930s, and when he began making American movies, what he made was incredibly dark. The credited director on this movie is Archie Mayo, but it is known that Lang directed portions of it, which makes sense, because this movie is extremely downbeat! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that because these are very interesting key book set stills, we have pictured all 40 of them! Note only do these great stills show all the sets used on the movie, but many of them have really cool lighting, and there is even one with Lupino on the set, very unusual for set stills. Some of the stills show the incomplete set, and you can see the stage in the background (see all the images). But what is most cool about these is that the clapboards in the images have the director's name on them, so you can see that some say Mayo and some say F. Lang, so that would help a person to know exactly which scenes Fritz Lang directed! Also note that these stills measure 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: very good to fine. Each of the stills has two punch holes at left (like all key book stills) but are otherwise in wonderful condition! Learn More about condition grades
