An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Reckless, the 1935 Victor Fleming romantic love triangle musical screwball comedy ("See Jean Harlow dance! Hear Jean Harlow sing the blues!"; "The giant melody drama!"; "MGM's mammoth musical melodrama!"; Harlow is a showgirl who is madly in love with sports promoter Powell, but he doesn't have time for her, and rich Tone chases after her, but discovers his rich high society friends won't accept showgirl Harlow, even after he marries her) starring Jean Harlow, William Powell, Franchot Tone, May Robson, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Nat Pendleton, Robert Light, Rosalind Russell, Mickey Rooney, Allen 'Farina' Hoskins, Man Mountain Dean (the real life wrestler, as himself!), Allan Jones ("The new crooning sensation!"), Henry Stephenson, and Leon Ames NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: This great still shows William Powell dancing with a young African American boy. The back has information typed in Spanish that refers to the boy as being named "Slick" and five years old, and the son of the famous "Slickem", and that the boy is teaching William Powell some "difficult dance steps". We can't find that the boy ever acted in any movies, but his father, Harold Garrison (known as "Kid Slickem" and "Slicum"), was an amazing part of Hollywood history! He was born in 1901, and in the 1920s, he ran a shoeshine stand at MGM, and was soon called upon to perform in some movies and also to help find black extras. When King Vidor made Hallelujah in 1929, he hired Garrison to be a second director in charge of getting all the black actors needed for the movie, which put him in the highest position at MGM any black person had been in to that time. He still ran his shoeshine stand, and still acted in movies. He is a fascinating part of Hollywood history, and someone should make a movie about him! Condition: very good.
