Auction History Result 8a521 LOT OF 9 5000 FINGERS OF DR. T REPRO 8X10 STILLS '80s with candid of Dr. Seuss & Rettig! Date Sold 6/26/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 9 1980s REPRODUCTION 8x10 stills from The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T, the classic 1953 Roy Rowland children's musical fantasy ("The First Wonderama"; "In color by Technicolor"; "The wonder musical of the future!"; "Plus a Hit Parade of Songs"; ; "Songs you'll never stop singing!"; "T for tremendous! T for terrifying! T for terpsichore! T for tickles! T for tootlers! T for tunes! T for terrific!"; T for entertainmenT [spelled backwards]; written by Dr. Seuss) starring Peter Lind Hayes, Mary Healy, Hans Conried (in the title role as Dr. Terwilliker), Tommy Rettig, and George Chakiris. Note that this movie soured Dr. Seuss on Hollywood and merchandising for many years until his death. The studio created a really cool special supplement to the pressbook (the supplement is quite rare!), which contains a massive section of tie-in promotional items, and that might have helped contribute to how Dr. Seuss felt about Hollywood (but I would give anything to have any original Happy Fingers beanie, or a hand puppet, or lollipop, or Hand-y Pants and Shirts, or scarves, or roller skates, or costume jewelry, or balloons, etc.; all these are real items that were advertised in the pressbook!). Note that this movie was produced by Stanley Kramer. We did not know that until we saw a candid still with Kramer (we wonder why his connection to this movie never seems to get mentioned!). Note that these come from a man who collected 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi for many decades (at least since the 1980s). He knew that there were some stills (especially great candid ones) that were SO scarce that he might never acquire them, so on those, he would purchase high quality 8" x 10" reproductions (we believe he acquired those in the 1980s). We are auctioning a large number of his repro horror/sci-fi stills (including many candid images) in many bulk lots in this set of auctions. This is a rare opportunity to acquire nice reproductions of extremely scarce stills (including fantastic candid images we have never seen before)! Condition: very good to fine. The REPRODUCTIONS are in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
