An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More)

Knute Rockne, All American, the 1940 Lloyd Bacon Notre Dame college football sports biography ("'Rock'... Great coach, great American... great guy!"; "Few men lived so fully! Few pictures have captured so much! The simple things he loved! The quiet greatness of the man himself! Here is an All-American thriller for All-Americans!"; "He taught his teams the way to win... and America the way to live!"; "Based upon the private papers of Mrs. Rockne, and the reports of Rockne's intimate associates and friends"; about the famous Notre Dame coaching legend) starring Pat O'Brien (in the title role as Knute Rockne), Gale Page, Ronald Reagan (as George Gipp, the Notre Dame star who inspired the classic "Win one for the Gipper" inspirational half-time speech made after his death; for many years the only version of this movie available was one where the Reagan scenes were deleted, but they have been restored in recent years!), Donald Crisp, and Albert Bassermann
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that on this still there is a printed paper snipe attached to the back describing the scene on the front. It tells how the real Jim Thorpe visited the set of this movie (then-called "The Life of Knute Rockne"), and that he visited with star Pat O'Brien, and also Nick Lukats, the champion halfback at Notre Dame, who was a technical advisor, and who also played one of the "Four Horsemen". It also tells how Thorpe's two sons, Phil, 13, and Billy, 11, had bit parts in football scenes in this movie. This is really a wonderful still!
NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the sale is not the number of the still. Because we are selling more than one still from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..".

Condition: very good. see below for why we don't describe the defects of this item in words
