Date Sold 3/23/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Left Hand of God, the 1955 Edward Dmytryk religious melodrama ("Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow..."; "He profaned the cloth he wore! She fought against a forbidden relationship! It happened in the hidden valleys of China."; "The provocative best-seller that rocked the world with its daring is on the screen!"; "The strangest covenant between God and man ever made!"; "Based on the Novel 'The Left Hand of God' by William E. Barrett"; "Screen play by Alfred Hayes"; about an American priest in a small Asian village; he seeks to save them from destruction from a warlord, and a beautiful local woman is romantically attracted to the priest, but she thinks that is forbidden; ultimately, [spoiler alert!] Bogart is revealed to be a pilot who assumed the identity of a dead priest) starring Humphrey Bogart, Gene Tierney, Lee J. Cobb (billed as "also starring Lee J. Cobb"), Agnes Moorehead (billed as "with Agnes Moorehead"), E.G. Marshall, Jean Porter, Philip Ahn, Victor Sen Yung, and Benson Fong. Note that Lee J. Cobb played an Asian role with "yellowface" makeup, something that Hollywood films were still doing in the mid 1950s, but fortunately will never do again. And the movie's producers cast some well known real Asians in supporting roles, perhaps to give the movie authenticity! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: good to very good. There is a horizontal crease running through Marshall's head at left.
