An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Wife Vs. Secretary, the 1936 Clarence Brown romantic love misunderstanding comedy (about a happily married couple; the husband has a beautiful secretary, and the wife misunderstands something that happens and she thinks that her husband might be having an affair) starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow (in the title role as the secretary, Helen Wilson), Myrna Loy (in the title role as the wife, Linda Stanhope), May Robson, George Barbier, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; in his fourth movie role!), Hobart Cavanaugh, and John Qualen. Note that Jean Harlow plays Clark Gable's secretary, and in the movie, he is madly in love with wife Myrna Loy, and it is only a misunderstanding that causes Loy to think there is something between Gable and Harlow, and the entire movie is very innocent. Note too that Harlow's boyfriend is played by an extremely young Jimmy Stewart! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 1/2" x 9 3/4" [19 x 25 cm]. Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still (and the other stills that carry this paragraph) are from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and all were stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that they came from this legendary collection. Condition: good to very good. Three of the blank borders were trimmed and there is slight discoloration in the top 3/4", caused by the snipe glued to the back. Otherwise, the still is in pretty good condition!
