A Slabbed Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (measures 9 1/2" x 12" with slab) (Learn More) The Black Shield of Falworth, the 1954 Rudolph Mate Universal medieval adventure thriller ("All the vast pageantry and towering excitement the thundering thrills of knighthood's epic age!"; "The epic story of Myles Falworth... who pledged his life to save a throne... and his love to win a fabulous beauty!"; "All the pageantry and excitement of Knighthood's epic age!"; based on the book 'Men of Iron' by Howard Pyle) starring Tony Curtis (as a knight with a Brooklyn accent!), Janet Leigh, David Farrar, Barbara Rush, Herbert Marshall, Torin Thatcher, Daniel O'Herlihy, and Rhys Williams. Note that there is a long-standing rumor that Curtis badly mangles the line "Yonder lies the castle of my father" as "Yonda lies the castle of my faddah." However, a collector tells us that line is not even in the film, but there is a similar line in Son of Ali Baba which was pronounced correctly. Also note that stars Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh had been married since 1951, three years before this movie was released. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this a movie paper item that was "authenticated" and "graded" by CGC, the famous authenticator of comic books. They gave it a grade of "very fine", and encased it in a Mylar sleeve, with an informative strip one on border, and three punch holes in another border. Note that the still measures 8" x 10", but because it is slabbed into a 9 1/2" x 12" Mylar slab, it is included in this auction of "oversized" stills, even though it is not itself oversized. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
