An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Palooka (also released as "Joe Palooka" and released in Sweden as "Knockout", where "Palooka" probably was not in their vocabulary!), the 1934 Benjamin Stoloff boxing sports comedy (based on the classic comic strip 'Joe Palooka' drawn by Ham Fisher) starring Jimmy Durante (billed as "Jimmie Durante"), Lupe Velez, Stuart Erwin (in the title role as Joe Palooka), Marjorie Rambeau, Robert Armstrong, Mary Carlisle, William Cagney (older brother of James Cagney; he bore a remarkable resemblance to his famous brother, but after starring in just three movies, he mostly retired from acting and managed his brother's career), and Thelma Todd. What is REALLY cool about this movie is that United Artists hired three great cartoonists to draw special cartoon newspaper ads for this movie, and they were William Steig, Otto Soglow, and Dr. Seuss (long before his books, but he signed his work as Dr. Seuss!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie! Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie! Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. 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: good to very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). There are faint smudges scattered around the edges.
