An Original Vintage Theatrical Color 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Life Begins at Eight-Thirty, the 1942 Irving Pichel family relationship father/daughter stage play acting romantic melodrama ("It's the story of a man who laughed at life... And a girl who longed for a chance for romance!"; "From a play by Emlyn Williams"; about a former Broadway star who has fallen on hard times because of his heavy drinking; he has an adult daughter who is lame because of a congenital birth defect and her mother died during childbirth; things are looking up when the daughter meets a successful playwright who falls for her, and her father gets the lead in a production of King Lear, but then things take major downturns, although everything works out in the end) starring Monty Woolley, Ida Lupino, Cornel Wilde, Sara Allgood, and Melville Cooper NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is from a special set of "color glos" stills, which means it was printed on a photo type of paper and have a glossier front, with more vivid colors. This is something the studios experimented with in the late 1930s and early 1940s, for both 8x10 stills and 11x14 stills. Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: good to very good. There are some faint scuff lines running through Lupino's figure, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
