An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Happy Go Lucky, the 1943 Curtis Bernhardt Trinidad tropical island romantic musical comedy (about a gold-digger who goes to Trinidad to pose as a debutante and find a rich husband, and a rich guy exposes her, but tries to set her up with his arch rival; there is a wacky subplot involving a voodoo love potion!) starring Mary Martin, Dick Powell, Betty Hutton, Eddie Bracken, and Rudy Vallee. Note that Paramount was really pushing Mary Martin at this time, and she was given top billing over her much better established male co-stars (Powell, Bracken, and Vallee), and she is the only one pictured on the one-sheet poster. Of course, she would soon become disenchanted with Hollywood and spend most of her time on Broadway! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). There is a piece of clear tape in each blank corner. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
