Date Sold 4/30/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1935 Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Clairvoyant, the 1934 (released in the U.S. in 1935) Maurice Elvey English romantic fortune telling thriller ( "Hexed by the evil eye"; based on the novel by Ernst Lothar; screenplay by Charles Bennett; a clever story of a man and his wife who have a fake mind reading act, but then he discovers he can start to actually see the future, but only when he is in the presence of a particular young woman; he has a vision of a mining disaster that kills hundreds, and he goes to the mine to warn the workers, and when the disaster occurs, he is put on trial for causing it!) starring Claude Rains, Fay Wray, Mary Clare, Ben Field, and Jane Baxter. Note that this is a completely forgotten movie today, which is very sad, because not only does it feature two major Hollywood stars (odd that they are in an English movie!), but also it is written by Charles Bennett, who went on to write several of Hitchcock's best movies, including "The 39 Steps" the following year. Perhaps it will get "rediscovered" one of these days. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this still likely has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has the letters "TRR". One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that 160 of the stills in this set of auctions come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of almost his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of those stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: good. There is a long horizontal crease in the middle right of the still, with a tear at top center that was repaired with tape from the back. There are also some other creases and tiny tears around the edges, and a pinhole in each corner. Learn More about condition grades
