Auction History Result 1x155 SNAFU 22 8x10 stills '45 Robert Benchley, Vera Vague, situation normal, all fouled up! Date Sold 9/21/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 22 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Snafu, the 1945 Jack Moss romantic comedy ("The FIVE-LETTER WORD that started BROADWAY howling!"; "The hilarious Broadway play... Now on the Screen!"; "Everything was SNAFU on Broadway, Now everything's SNAFU on the screen!"; "Screwy Novel Amazing Fun-packed, Uproarious"; "It couldn't be funnier that the Broadway play... But it is!") starring Robert Benchley, Barbara Jo Allen (billed as "Vera Vague"), Conrad Janis, Nanette Parks, Janis Wilson, Jimmy Lloyd, and Enid Markey (best remembered as the screen's first Jane in "Tarzan"). Note that "S.N.A.F.U." was an acronym coined by servicemen during World War II due to constant supply shortages. It stood for "situation normal, all f***ed up" (sometimes "cleaned up" to be "situation normal, all fouled up"). It went into wide usage in the U.S. when the servicemen returned, so naturally, the movie would be named after it, but of course, they couldn't explain its meaning on the movie posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that one of these stills has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie. Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie. SUPER IMPORTANT!

We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured!
