This was the summer the whole raucous, rollicking Spencer clan would never forget."; "The bursting-with-life best-seller is on the screen."; "The bursting-with-life best-seller about the raucous, rollicking Spencer clan overflows joyously onto the screen."; "A boy... a girl... on 'Spencer's Mountain'"; "If you were a real Spencer, you just naturally did your growing up on Spencer's Mountain."; "This summer everyone's going to Spencer's Mountain [we mean the movie, of course!]"; "Based on the novel by Earl Hamner. Jr."; "These here are Spencers and this here is a picture about'em and these here and this here is just about the most wonderful movie you ever saw!

Note that writer Hamner a few years later turned this into a TV series (just slightly changing the names, but basically keeping the bulk of the plot, which was his growing up in rural America) and had one of the greatest TV hits ever, "The Waltons". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this auction also includes the printed envelope this item originally came with, along with a snipe from the Warner Bros. News Department, which tells about the "first mountain to be named for an American motion picture"! These stills were taken at the above event, which was when the governor and a senator from Wyoming named one of the mountains in Grand Teton National Park after this movie, which was about to be released, and all the stars came out for the dedication ceremony, and the Warners publicity department sent these stills to media outlets (which include candids of the ceremony, and the stars traveling to it, and also one of the theaters that had a special "press premiere" of the movie). Note that this is a special group of stills that were sent to Nevart Apikian, who was a movie reviewer for the Syracuse Post Standard. Ms. Apikian was given special treatment by the studios, and we previously auctioned a presskit from Alien (on 4/24/16) where she was given that includes a ticket to the premiere of that movie! We have not auctioned any of these stills before, likely because they were only sent to media people and are extremely rare. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
