Burns"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about the real-life man who through misfortune ended up in a Georgia prison working on a chain gang; against all odds, he escaped and returned to his hometown of Chicago, where he became a major success, hiding his past; his prison escape was discovered, and in the movie, he agrees to serve a short amount of time in the prison, but he is double-crossed, and he escapes again, but this time, his future is very bleak) starring Paul Muni (as James Allen/Allen James; nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Glenda Farrell, Helen Vinson, Preston Foster, Everett Brown (as the black African American convict Sebastian, who hits Paul Muni's shackles with a sledgehammer!), Noel Francis, Allen Jenkins, Edward Ellis, and Harry Woods. Note that this is one of the rare cases where Hollywood took a happy ending and made it unhappy! In real life, Robert Burns refused to return to the prison, and Illinois refused to extradite him to Georgia, and he lived out his life without ever returning to prison. But apparently, Warner Bros. wanted a more dramatic ending to the story, and so they invented their ending, where Burns returns, is double-crossed, and escapes a second time!

However, since we know there is no way you can know this for sure from looking at a digital image, be aware that we unconditionally guarantee every still we sell to vintage and from the year we say it is. If you purchase any stills, and after receiving them, have doubts as to their originality, simply return it within one week for a no questions asked refund!
