An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/2" x 9 1/4" [22 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Manpower, the 1941 Raoul Walsh power-company-road-crew melodrama ("Here's that T.N.T. star-combination that had the news wires sizzling!"; "A Warner Bros. Hit!"; "The Sensational new Warner Bros. hit!"; "TNTrio!"; "All together") starring Edward G. Robinson ("He's mad about Dietrich!"), Marlene Dietrich ("She's mad about Raft!"), George Raft ("He's mad about the whole thing!"), Alan Hale Sr., Frank McHugh, Eve Arden, Walter Catlett, Ward Bond, Joyce Compton, Lucia Carroll, and Barbara Pepper. Note that this was the first time that Robinson and Raft worked together, and they had a very bad relationship on the set, to the point where George Raft physically struck Edward G. Robinson, and Robinson threatened to walk off the picture! Not surprisingly, they only made one more movie together, and that was 14 years later! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 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 8 1/2" x 9 1/4" [22 x 23 cm]. Condition: good to very good. Three of the borders were neatly trimmed off.
