Auction History Result 1h707 NIGHT COURT 7.25x9.25 still '32 close up of Phillips Holmes grabbing Walter Huston's tie! Date Sold 7/25/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/4" x 9 1/4" [18 x 23 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Night Court, the 1932 W.S. Van Dyke crooked judge courtroom legal lawyer crime murder thriller ("A real thrill ahead!"; "I am innocent... I never saw the man in my life!"; "This true-life story by Mark Hellinger and Charles Beahan brings a new, vital, throbbing idea to the screen! A tender love story, a mighty entertainment!"; about an all powerful crooked judge who uses his power to control and torment many innocent people, and a young couple whose life is ruined by the judge) starring Phillips Holmes, Walter Huston (as the crooked judge, and he is pretty much a cartoon villain!), Anita Page, Lewis Stone, Jean Hersholt, and Tully Marshall. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
