Date Sold 11/26/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Murders in the Zoo, the 1933 A. Edward Sutherland romantic horror mystery crime murder thriller (about an insanely jealous husband who is a wealthy zoologist, and any man who comes close to his wife ends up killed by the animals in a zoo, several in really gruesome ways, but ultimately, the man becomes a victim of his own animals!) starring Charles Ruggles, Lionel Atwill, Gail Patrick, Randolph Scott (in an early credited role), Kathleen Burke, and John Lodge. Note that male lead John Lodge has an interesting background! He came from an important New England family (his grandfather was William Henry Cabot Lodge), and he shocked them by becoming a movie actor! He appeared in a couple dozen movies between 1932 and 1940. He quit the movies to serve in World War II, and afterwards, in 1946, he became the second major movie actor ever to hold national political office, serving as a Congressman (the first was Helen Gahagan Douglas). In 1950, he became Governor of Connecticut, and later, he served as ambassador to several countries! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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. Condition: very good. There is a 1 1/2" cut in the left of the top border and tiny surface paper loss in the bottom left blank corner. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
