An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Campus Confessions (released in England as "Fast Play"), the 1938 George Archainbaud college university basketball sports romantic comedy ("The brightest, fastest show of the season...!"; "Original Story and Screen Play by Lloyd Carrigan and Erwin Gelsey"; a wacky story of a college that has one great basketball player, but still loses every game because the rest of the team is dreadful, but then a rich student finds he can become popular if he can learn to play basketball, so he hires the great player to come to his father's mansion with the team, and the great player coaches them all!; they become good enough to win the championship, but then the great player is suspended for failing math, but then, in the championship game, in the third quarter, the great player is given an oral math exam, which he passes, and he goes into the game and scores 24 points in the fourth quarter and they win!) starring Betty Grable, Eleanore Whitney, William Henry, Fritz Feld, John Arledge, Thurston Hall, Richard Denning, and Hank Luisetti (real life college basketball player, playing himself and billed as "All-American Basketball Star"!). Obviously Paramount wanted to make the good use of real life basketball star Hank Luisetti, and they crafted the plot around him. They also top-billed pretty young starlettes Betty Grable and Eleanore Whitney, but neither one had a lot to do in the movie. The romantic lead was William Henry, and this could have been his "big break", but that didn't work out, although he continued on in small roles in many movies for decades! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: very good. The left 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
