An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Bound in Morocco, the 1918 Allan Dwan silent romantic action comedy ("Story and direction by Allan Dwan"; an unusual story of an American "Boy" in Morocco, who learns a beautiful American "Girl" is about to be sold into a harem of a cruel Sheik; he tries to rescue her but is put in prison, and then escapes and disguises himself as a female attendant, and sneaks into the harem, and rescues the girl; he has a battle with the Sheik, and at the end of the movie, everyone is chasing the boy and the girl, including the police, local bandits, and all the townspeople, but the mother of the girl drives up and they jump in the car and drive to safety) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (as "The Boy"), Pauline Curley (as "The Girl"), Edythe Chapman, Tully Marshall, and Frank Campeau. Note that there is an oddity to this movie. The IMDb says that the screenplay and the story were credited to Elton Thomas, who was really Douglas Fairbanks Sr., and the "writer" was Allan Dwan, but the glass slide for this movie solely says that the story was by Allan Dwan, so we wonder if the IMDb has some facts mixed up. If anyone can untangle this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

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 is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Also note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]. Condition: good to very good. The still was slightly trimmed. Learn More about condition grades
