Date Sold 10/1/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Brian Donlevy was an actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He was born Waldo Brian Donlevy in 1901, and supposedly he managed to enlist in the army in 1916, at the age of 14! He stayed in the army through the early 1920s, becoming a pilot. In the early 1920s, he started acting, and had a few film roles. He became a top actor in the mid 1930s, primarily playing "heavies" or bad guys, and he appeared in many of Paramount's best movies of the 1940s, and also some great ones at other studios. One of his rare "non-bad guy" roles was as the star of "Two Years Before the Mast". Some of his movies include: The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, Destry Rides Again, Beau Geste, The Great McGinty, Kiss of Death, and the Big Combo. He passed away in 1972 at the age of 71. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 10 1/4" x 13" [26 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this is one of 80 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! We auctioned 100 other stills from this collection in our September Major Auction, and those mostly auctioned for between $30 and $250 each, with a few selling for more, with the highest selling for $535! Now we have 80 more from that collection in this set of auctions. James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
