Auction History Result 6b0384 GHOST SHIP TC 1943 Richard Dix, art of Edith Barrett & knife, produced by Val Lewton! Date Sold 3/12/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (LC TC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Ghost Ship, the 1943 Mark Robson high seas murder mystery horror thriller ("Story by Leo Mittler"; produced by Val Lewton) starring Richard Dix, Russell Wade, Edith Barrett, Ben Bard, Edmund Glover, Skelton Knaggs (who played a mute but his character narrates the film with an internal voice-over monologue), Lawrence Tierney (uncredited in his third movie role!), and Dewey Robinson. Note that shortly after its theatrical release, producer Val Lewton was sued for plagiarism by a man who said he had sent a script with the same plot to Lewton. Lewton could have settled out of court, but he claimed he never even opened the script, and he decided to fight the case. That proved to be a massive error, because the court ruled against Lewton and The Ghost Ship was withdrawn from circulation, and was unavailable for viewing for the next 50 years, and when it was finally made available, it was ruled to be public domain, so Lewton never received any financial reward from it.

There is surface paper loss in the center of the top blank border caused by rough removal of tape, and there is staining in that area as well.
