Date Sold 3/31/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) George Raft (born George Ranft) was a legendary tough guy actor (specializing in crime and film noir roles) from the 1920s to the 1980s. Like James Cagney, he actually WAS born in a tough neighborhood in New York City, so his tough guy persona was honestly earned! Note that he first appeared in movies in minor roles in 1929, but it took three years and seven movies before he got his big break in Howard Hughes' "Scarface" (where he played Paul Muni's coin-flipping henchman). After that, he was rushed into six movies in the rest of 1932 alone, and he remained a major star (mostly in gangster roles) for many years. Some of his other movies include: Each Dawn I Die, Manpower, If I Had a Million, They Drive by Night, and Some Like It Hot (in a great cameo where he played a parody of his earlier gangster roles). He passed away in 1980 at the age of 79. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 201 "oversized" stills we are auctioning this week. All of the stills measure greater than 8" x 10", and most measure 11" x 14". Many are deluxe (printed on a heavy weight paper stock), and many are stamped or embossed with the names of famous photographers of the time. This is surely the finest collection of such stills we have ever offered! In each case, we always identify the exact measurements of the still, whether or not it is deluxe, and if a photographer is credited (and we have high quality scans of both the front and back of every still, so you can see exactly what is on the back of each, and so you can clearly determine the exact condition of each). If you have the slightest interest in these, be sure to look over all of the 201"oversized" stills we are currently offering. We promise you won't be disappointed! Condition: very good to fine.
