An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Scene of the Crime, the 1949 Roy Rowland bad girl crime film noir ("Be there when it happens!") starring Van Johnson, Gloria De Haven, Arlene Dahl, Tom Drake, Leon Ames, John McIntire, Donald Woods, and Norman Lloyd NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that studios had to submit their photos for approval, and those photos were often unretouched, because there was no sense in touching them up if they were not approved. In the case of this still, it is a deluxe still with a full printed snipe on the back which was submitted. Someone at the censor office thought seeing Gloria De Haven's cleavage above her dress was just too much, and they put a pen mark on that area on the front of the still indicating where they wanted the still to be retouched before using it for publicity purposes, and it was stamped "RETOUCH AS INDICATED" on the back! This shows just how restrictive the 1940s were when it came to showing sexy images to U.S. audiences! Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good. The still has a pen mark on the front that was put there by a censor (see above). Also, the still is rippled near the center (because of the snipe glued to the back) and that causes it to not lay completely flat. This causes "distortion" in our image because it does not lay completely flat in our scanner, but this distortion is solely in our digital image, and NOT in the still itself. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
