Important Added Info: Note that the movie is called "Assigned to Treasury" on the back of this still, which was the working title for this movie! Also note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. 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 neatly trimmed off (see above). There is a faint diagonal crease in the upper right blank white area, with unevenness to the emulsion to the right of that crease, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light, and it only affects blank white borders. There is a tiny black mark in the lower right blank border that looks to be a minor printing defect. See our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of this still.
