Date Sold 9/27/2012Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Honor Among Lovers, the 1931 Dorothy Arzner romantic love triangle melodrama starring Claudette Colbert, Fredric March, Monroe Owsley, Charles Ruggles (billed as "Charlie Ruggles"), and Ginger Rogers (extremely young in this role, playing a daffy "Gracie Allen" type part!). Note that this was a movie by trailblazing early female director Dorothy Arzner, and it has a very complicated plot about a rich businessman who wants to have a relationship with his secretary, and after she marries her boyfriend, he goes to great lengths to destroy their marriage, just so he can get the secretary back! Like most of director Arzner's movies, this one dealt with a very independent woman who "goes her own way" in life! Also note that Dorothy Arzner was a director from the 1920s to the 1940s, and she was the only woman director during the "Golden Age" of Hollywood ('20s to '40s) and she was the first woman to join the Directors Guild of America. Arzner was a lesbian at a time when almost no females openly were, and she was surprisingly open about it, often dressing in "men's clothes" and wearing her hair short. She made many "women's movies" and movies with a "feminist" theme. After making "First Comes Courage" in 1943, she made training films for the U.S. Army WACs, and she never returned to making Hollywood movies, becoming a film teacher of directing and screenwriting, teaching at UCLA until her passing in 1979.

Important Added Info: Note that the still is glued to a linen-like backing (we think it is highly likely this was a key book still, and that someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still, no doubt so it could be put in a frame). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
