Date Sold 2/15/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Key Book Still (Learn More) Man About Town, the 1939 Mark Sandrich romantic love triangle musical comedy (Benny is a producer who brings his show to London, and he ignores his girlfriend/star, and they get involved with a noble English couple in the same situation, and both females do their best to make their better halves jealous) starring Jack Benny, Dorothy Lamour, Edward Arnold, Binnie Barnes, Phil Harris, Betty Grable, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson, E.E. Clive, featuring Matty Malneck & His Orchestra, and Monty Woolley. Note that the woman on the left of the one-sheet poster looks like it should be Betty Grable, but she was 7th billed and only appeared in a minor role, singing one song, so it has to be Binnie Barnes, who is the second female lead, and part of the romantic love triangle with Jack Benny and Dorothy Lamour. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that Betty Grable is one of the most famous "blondes" of all time (along with Marilyn Monroe), but apparently the producers of this movie felt that you couldn't have a blonde harem girl, so she wore a dark wig! Also note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. 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 excess 1" at the top of the still was trimmed off, but otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
