4 Original Vintage Theatrical (measure from 7" x 9" [18 x 23 cm] to 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) Movie Stills (Learn More)

The Story of Alexander Graham Bell, the 1939 Irving Cummings historical telephone inventor biography ( "A Picture as Great as the Love it Immortalizes... A love as enduring as the miracle it wrought!"; "America's most thrilling story!"; "Out of the stirring past of this great nation emerges the drama of accomplishment that symbolizes the tradition of America! The dramatic romance of one who dreamed and struggled, loved and achieved."; "Original story by Ray Harris"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; a fictionalized biography of the inventor of the telephone) starring Don Ameche (in the title role as Alexander Graham Bell), Loretta Young, Henry Fonda (as Thomas Watson, who is immortalized in the first phone transmission, "Mr. Watson, come here I need you!"), Charles Coburn, Gene Lockhart, Spring Byington, Sally Blane, Polly Ann Young, Georgiana Young, and Bobs Watson. Note that Loretta Young's three real life sisters (Sally Blane, Polly Ann Young, and Georgiana Young) all appeared in this movie with her, making it a real "family affair"!

Important Added Info: Note that all four of these stills show Georgiana Young, who you likely never heard of! There is a good reason for that! She was the sister of Loretta Young and also of Sally Blane and Polly Ann Young. Those three sisters had already established film careers (with of course Loretta having the greatest of them), and Georgiana made her movie debut in this movie (after a few bit parts). The four real life sisters played the roles of the four real life daughters of Gardiner G. Hubbard. 20th Century Fox naturally strongly promoted this clever casting, including the two stills shown here, both of which have snipes on the back explaining about the four sisters (one of the stills is a news photo). But right after making this movie, Georgiana married actor Ricardo Montalban and she completely retired! They had a great marriage which produced four children and it lasted until she passed away in 2007 (and Mr. Montalban passed away two years later)! Note that also each still has a paper snipe on the back giving information about the scene on the front! Also note that three of the stills have the title "The Life of Alexander Graham Bell" on front (and on the snipes on back) which was one of the working titles for this movie.

Condition: very good. The three movie stills are in pretty nice condition. The news photo has some creases, partially caused by the snipe on the back and is in "good to very good" condition. See our images of the front and backs of all four.
