NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these stills are being sold as a pair, because they were distributed that way to theaters, because the two stills show both James Cagney and Frankie Burke, who played the young Rocky Sullivan in the movie! Also note that these stills have been trimmed and they now measure 6 3/4" x 10 1/4". Also note that these are deluxe stills printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still (and the other stills that carry this paragraph) are from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and all were stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that they came from this legendary collection. Condition: fair to good. Both stills have discoloration scattered in the top two-thirds and are trimmed in the blank borders, but are otherwise in pretty nice condition. We don't know how easy or difficult it would be to restore these stills, so please do not bid on these stills unless you can accept their defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
