An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Footlight Parade, the classic 1933 Lloyd Bacon New York City Broadway stage romantic musical ("Another of Warner Bros.' Glittering Parade of Musical Sensations!"; "Surpassing even '42nd Street' and 'Gold Diggers of 1933'"; "Can you even think of missing it?"; "250 of the world's most gorgeous girls and hundreds more of your screen favorites."; "Dance numbers by Busby Berkeley") starring James Cagney (billed on some items as "Jimmy Cagney"), Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Frank McHugh, Ruth Donnelly, Guy Kibbee, Hugh Herbert, Nancy Lyons, Gordon Westcott, Claire Dodd, Donna Mae Roberts, and Renee Whitney. Note that this movie had some of the most risque advertising of any movie ever, with many images of girls wearing the skimpiest of costumes (and they were advertised as "one of the 300 reasons why you must see Footlight Parade")! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the still shows a great candid image of a showgirl from the movie, who is completely naked, except for her shoes, and a large fake leaf placed over her bottom! The still identifies the showgirl as "Bobbie La Salle", and she is not even one of the uncredited actors listed for this movie, and she apparently had an extremely limited career in Hollywood. If anyone knows more about her, or what happened to her, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Obviously, it was excesses like this in sexy pre-Code movies that caused the crack down that led to censorship in movies in the 1930s! Condition: good to very good. There are two white dots of staining in the emulsion to the left of the girl's back. There are faint emulsion scuffs scattered throughout the still, but they are truthfully not very noticeable except when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
