Auction History Result g044 EAGLE OF THE SEA 8x10 movie still '26 Cortez, Florence Vidor Date Sold 8/16/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) The Eagle of the Sea, the 1926 Frank Lloyd silent swashbuckling pirate action adventure thriller ("From the novel 'Captain Sazarac' by James Tenney Jackson"; about the notorious pirate Jean Lafitte, who, in the days of General Andrew Jackson, disguises himself as a naval officer and has many adventures) starring Florence Vidor, Ricardo Cortez (as Captain Sazarac aka Jean Lafitte), Sam De Grasse, George Beranger, Mitchell Lewis, Guy Oliver, George Irving (as General Andrew Jackson), and Boris Karloff (in an uncredited role as a pirate!). Note that while there is no official connection between the two movies, Cecil B. DeMille's "The Buccaneer" (first made in 1938, and then remade by DeMille in 1958) covers the same ground as this movie. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 two extremely tiny chips from the blank border. 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.
