Date Sold 2/11/2018Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) The Buster Keaton Story, the 1957 Sidney Sheldon movie acting biographical melodrama ("Written by Sidney Sheldon and Robert Smith"; about one of the greatest screen comedians of all time!) starring Donald O'Connor (in the title role as Buster Keaton), Ann Blyth, Rhonda Fleming (billed as "Guest Star"), Peter Lorre, Jackie Coogan, and Cecil B. DeMille (in a cameo role as himself!). Note that while Paramount bought the rights to Keaton's life from Keaton, and hired him as a "technical advisor", the movie is remarkably inaccurate in depicting his life (although Donald O'Connor does an excellent job recreating Keaton's comic style, probably one of the only people who could ever have done so at all convincingly!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a CAMERA ORIGINAL transparency, the actual film that was in the camera when the photographer shot this image. The coloring of the transparency has shifted over the years, and our consignor prepared a "color corrected" version through PhotoShop. We have an image of the transparency as it appears alongside the color corrected version, but of course, the auction is for a single transparency. Note that this is one of 61 auctions of transparencies and negatives that come directly from the personal files of publicist Rolf Larsen, who worked in the Paramount Pictures publicity department from the early 1950s through the early 1970s. Larsen worked closely with many of the biggest stars on the studio roster and his massive collection of original photographers transparencies and negatives spans over more than two decades of Hollywood history. This is the first offering of these rare (and often unseen for decades!) images from eMoviePoster.com from this remarkable collection. Some of the great celebrities presented in these auctions include Sophia Loren, Eva Marie Saint, Stella Stevens, Audrey Hepburn, Cary Grant, Dean Martin, Doris Day, Henry Fonda, Deborah Kerr, Janet Leigh, Lizbeth Scott, Barbra Streisand, Angie Dickinson, Anne Baxter, Ava Gardner, Betty Hutton, and many more. All of the 61 auctions that are from Rolf Larsen's personal files have this paragraph on them. Also every one of these 365 auctions have had their transparencies and/or negatives scanned expertly. This auction contains that scan with the "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. ONLY the winner of this auction will, on request, be sent UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the items in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make high quality positive prints of the items they purchased. Condition: good to very good. The color of the transparency has shifted from how it originally was, but otherwise, it is in nice condition. We have supplied a second image that is "color corrected" to look as it originally was (see above). Learn More about condition grades
