Date Sold 3/14/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 4 Undated (probably 1960s) Re-Release Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Television Stills (Learn More) The Story of Louis Pasteur, the 1936 William Dieterle (this is one of five biographical movies Dieterle directed for Warner Bros.) historical France medical research biography ("He gambled his daughter's life... that our children might live."; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; a fictionalized version of the life of Louis Pastuer, the French inventor of pasteurization and the first vaccine against rabies) starring Paul Muni (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Louis Pasteur), Josephine Hutchinson, Anita Louise, Donald Woods, Fritz Leiber, Henry O'Neill, Porter Hale, and Akim Tamiroff. Note that Warner Bros. was worried that this "talky" melodrama about the life of a scientist would be "box office poison", and they use an image of Paul Muni looking menacing for the paper advertising, perhaps trying to trick the public into thinking the movie was something it was not! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these stills are undated and measure 8" x 10", and appear to look identical to stills from the first release of this movie. But they are on a "newer" paper stock that is blank on the back ("newer" than the 1930s or 1940s, but consistent with the paper stock used in the 1960s, and the printing is quite nice). We believe that they were created in the 1960s when this movie was shown on TV, and that stills like these were distributed to TV stations. We have been consigned some large collections of stills that came directly from TV stations, and they included a large number of stills that are very similar to these, which makes us think it is even more likely that these were created in the 1960s for TV use. But we can't say for certain, so please do not bid on these stills unless you can accept that uncertainty as to when they were created. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
