Auction History Result j137 DADDY LONG LEGS vintage 8x10 still '31 Gaynor & Baxter close up! Date Sold 11/16/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Daddy Long Legs, the 1931 Alfred Santell romantic comedy ("From play by Jean Webster"; about a middle aged millionaire who meets an 18 year old girl in an orphanage, and he is in love with her, but restrains himself and sends her to college, but after several years, they fall in love) starring Janet Gaynor, Warner Baxter, Una Merkel, John Arledge, Claude Gillingwater, and Effie Ellsler. Note that this movie was based on a play and novel by Jean Webster from 1912. It was made into a silent movie in 1919 starring Mary Pickford, and was remade as this sound film, and then was significantly altered so that Shirley Temple could play the lead in "Curly Top" in 1935, and then was remade with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about a middle aged man falling in love with an 18 year old that he "adopts" is very inappropriate!
