An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More)

Silver Blaze (released in the U.S. in 1941 as "Murder at the Baskervilles"), the 1937 Thomas Bentley English detective crime murder mystery thriller (based on the story by Arthur Conan Doyle; Holmes is visiting an old friend, when two murders occur, and also a prize race horse is kidnapped, and he must solve all three mysteries, with the help of Doctor Watson) starring Arthur Wontner (as Sherlock Holmes), Lyn Harding, Ian Fleming (NOT the creator of James Bond, but an Australian actor who appeared in 158 movies between 1926 and 1968; as Dr. Watson), Judy Gunn, John Turnbull, and Robert Horton. Note that this was one of five movies in which Arthur Wontner played Sherlock Holmes. They were made between 1931 and 1937. The first four were made between 1931 and 1935 and were released in the U.S. soon after they were made. The fifth one, Murder at the Baskervilles, was released in England when it was made in 1937, but it was not released at that time in the U.S. However, after 20th Century-Fox and Universal Pictures had great success with their Sherlock Holmes movies starting in 1939, Murder at the Baskervilles was first released in the U.S. in 1941, by Astor Pictures (a company normally associated with re-releases, but in this case, it was the first release of this movie).

Important Added Info: Note that this is a great trade ad taken out of a To-Day's Cinema English trade magazine (we have a number of them in this set of auctions, and also other English trade ads with various amounts of pages). Studios would run these elaborate ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This trade ad was removed from a 1937 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. Because the back of this trade ad has interesting articles, we have pictured the other side (see our images of both sides). Also note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie.
