An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) The House I Live In, the 1945 Mervyn LeRoy bully racial religious tolerance short (Sinatra comes upon a group of boys who are bullying another boy because he is the "wrong religion", and he sets them straight that what they're doing is wrong and is also "un-American", and Sinatra sings the title song, sometimes referred to "What America Means to Me") starring Frank Sinatra, Harry McKim, Teddy Infuhr, Merrill Rodin, and Axel Stordahl. Note that this short was made immediately after World War II, during the time when the details of the Holocaust were coming to light, and it was a plea for Americans to end prejudice against people with different religions (specifically Jewish people, although that was not directly mentioned).

Important Added Info: Note that this great key book still shows the director studying the test film, "frame by frame", and it has a wonderful snipe glued to the back explaining that this movie was made by "Frankie Sinatra", and that it is a non-profit venture, designed to "bring Sinatra's own plea to the youth and adults of the world for a better understanding of individuals who chance to be divided by racial or religious barriers". Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). The still has slightly darkened and there are light creases scattered around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
