Auction History Result 5m667 POINTED HEELS LC 1929 William Powell in tuxedo walks in on half-dressed pretty Fay Wray! Date Sold 4/21/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Pointed Heels, the 1929 A. Edward Sutherland New York City Manhattan show business romantic love triangle musical comedy ("A Paramount all talking picture"; "By Charles Brackett"; about a chorus girl who is in love with a would-be composer, and there is a suave producer who is in love with her as well) starring William Powell, Helen Kane, Fay Wray, Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, Phillips Holmes, Adrienne Dore, Eugene Pallette, and the Albertina Rasch ballet group (who perform a ballet number with Fay Wray). Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
