An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Charlie McCarthy, Detective, the 1939 Frank Tuttle ventriloquist newspaper journalism reporter murder mystery crime screwball comedy ("Original story by Robertson White and Darrell Ware"; about a newspaper editor and a mobster who are murdered, and a reporter is suspected, and another reporter asks his friend Edgar Bergen to solve the murder, with "help" from his dummy Charlie McCarthy!) starring Edgar Bergen & Charlie McCarthy (who wears a Sherlock Holmes-like outfit, including hat, throughout the movie!), Mortimer Snerd, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Constance Moore, John Sutton, Louis Calhern, Edgar Kennedy, Warren Hymer, Samuel S. Hinds, Harold Huber, and Ray Turner NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still shows a great candid image of actor Mischa Auer, "Mayor of Universal City", swearing in Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen as "Chief of Detectives" for Universal City (because they did such a great job as detectives in the filming of this movie)! Also note that a paper snipe was glued to the back of the still, and then folded over to the front. This was done rather than gluing the snipe to the back, so that the snipe could be unfolded and the still could be displayed with the snipe unfolded, which would let moviegoers read the information on the snipe in the lobby (and of course, the snipe would be folded backwards, so it would not show). This was done with many stills of the 1930s, but often, the snipes are either partially or completely lost, because it is easier for them to be torn off. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THE SNIPE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE FRONT OF THE STILL! Condition: very good to fine. There are a very few faint emulsion scuffs scattered around the edges of the still, but they are truthfully not at all noticeable except when the still is tilted to the light.
