Auction History Result 6b1289 ICE FOLLIES OF 1939 deluxe 8x10 key book still 1939 close up of Joan Crawford & James Stewart! Date Sold 3/12/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Key Book Still (Learn More) Ice Follies of 1939, the 1939 Reinhold Schunzel romantic ice skating sports musical ("Sparking with stars, gayety, girls, music!"; about a married team of ice skaters, but then the wife gets the chance to be in movies, which works, except it jeopardizes their marriage) starring Joan Crawford, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Lew Ayres, Lewis Stone, "The International Ice Follies" (with Bess Ehrhardt, Roy Shipstad, Eddie Shipstad, and Oscar Johnson), and Lionel Stander. Note that this movie featured the unusual romantic pairing of Joan Crawford and Jimmy Stewart, and they really didn't "click", and they didn't make another movie together. Also note that Roy Shipstad, Eddie Shipstad and Oscar Johnson were skaters who founded "The International Ice Follies" in 1936, and it became very successful, and this movie was set at the Ice Follies, but a big problem for the producers was that none of the top stars could skate at all, so they had to center the plot around non-skating scenes, which made for an unusual movie! Later on, the show became known as "Shipstad and Johnson's Ice Follies", and in 1980, they merged with "Holiday on Ice", which is owned by Disney, and they still produce many successful shows with the "...on Ice" titles to this day! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a key book still that measures 8" x 10". There are many key book stills that measure 8" x 11" and have punch holes in the extra 1", but this is one of the key book stills that measures 8" x 10" exactly, and has no punch holes, and it has a stamp on the back that reads "THIS IS A KEY SET PRINT". 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. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
