Auction History Result 6t917 STUDIO MURDER MYSTERY 8x10.25 still '29 pretty brunette Doris Hill in jail cell by Dyar! Date Sold 3/23/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Studio Murder Mystery, the 1929 Frank Tuttle Hollywood California romantic crime murder mystery melodrama ("A Paramount ALL TALKING Picture"; about a cheating actor who is murdered, and those around him are all suspected of the crime) starring Warner Oland, Neil Hamilton, Doris Hill, Fredric March (very young and 4th billed in his third real movie role!), Chester Conklin, Florence Eldridge (in her first real movie role!), and Guy Oliver. Note that 4th billed March and 6th billed Eldridge had been married in real life for two years when this movie was made. He had achieved great success with The Wild Party right before this, and one wonders if he didn't use that success to get his wife cast in this movie (he plays the actor who is killed early, and Eldridge plays his wife in the movie!). Theirs was among the most successful of Hollywood marriages and they remained married until his passing in 1975! Also note that original 1929 release movie paper of any sort on this title is incredibly rare! 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 not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
