A 1940 Re-Release Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Poppy, the 1936 A. Edward Sutherland romantic family relationship circus screwball comedy (a remake of Fields' own silent movie, "Sally of the Sawdust", and a movie where Fields first says his trademark line, "Never give a sucker an even break!") starring W.C. Fields (as Professor Eustace P. McGargle), Rochelle Hudson (in the title role as Poppy), Richard Cromwell, Granville Bates, Catherine Doucet, Lynne Overman, and Rosalind Keith NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still appears in every way to be a U.S. release still from 1940 EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from the 1940 re-release, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
