An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 11" [20 x 28 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More)

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, the 1947 Irving Reis lawyer legal romantic love triangle screwball comedy ("Date her... or go to jail!"; "When Cary rings that doorbell! Laughs will ring out from coast to coast!"; "Sentenced to make with the jive!"; "Original Story and Screenplay by Sidney Sheldon") starring Cary Grant (in the title role as Dick Nugent), Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple (in the title role as Susan Turner), Rudy Vallee, Ray Collins, Harry Davenport, Johnny Sands, Lillian Randolph, and Gregory Gaye. Note that this movie had a ridiculous contrived plot where Cary Grant is ordered by a judge, played by Myrna Loy, to go out on dates with her sister, teenager Shirley Temple. Of course, this movie could never be made today, and the original tagline "Date her... or go to jail!" would now be reversed! On the other hand, the movie has some of Cary Grant's most enjoyable slapstick comedy, and it includes the routine where he has a conversation that begins with "I know a man..."!

Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. 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.

Condition: good to very good. The still has slightly changed to a sepia color and there are some tiny defects scattered throughout.
