Edward Sutherland silent World War I (WWI) military screwball comedy ("You won't have to be drafted to see this picture"; "The Sunny Side of War with Bombshells of Laughter"; "From 'Spoils of War' by Hugh Wiley"; about two extremely dissimilar recruits in World War I who strike up an unlikely friendship, and they are sent to France, where they meet French ladies and cause so much trouble, that it jeopardizes the armistice!) starring Wallace Beery, Raymond Hatton, Mary Brian, Richard Arlen, and Hayden Stevenson. Note that not only did this movie spawn more similar movies for Beery and Hatton, but it also inspired an imitation series starring Karl Dane and George K. Arthur! 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. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the left of the still. Condition: good to very good. The left 1" was trimmed off (see above). Someone created a snipe for the still and taped it to the bottom with clear tape. There is clear tape in the left corners (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
