Auction History Result 4r1467 MYSTERIOUS ISLAND 2 8x10 stills 1929 Jules Verne, wild-eyed Lionel Barrymore, Gadsdon! Date Sold 6/11/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) The Mysterious Island, the 1929 Lucien Hubbard science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy adventure thriller ("The stunning underwater film drama"; "Two years in the making!"; "From the book by Jules Verne"; "Photographed by Technicolor Process") starring Lionel Barrymore, Lloyd Hughes, Jacqueline Gadsdon (billed as "Jane Daly"), Montagu Love, and Harry Gribbon. Note that this movie has a very unusual history. It apparently started filming in 1926, but there were significant weather-related problems, and by the time production resumed, sound movies were in vogue, and so the movie was mostly re-shot, and was not released until three years later, in 1929. Apparently, Benjamin Christensen was the original 1926 director, but was replaced along the way, and Maurice Tourneur directed what was filmed in 1927, and the movie was finished by director Lucien Hubbard! Also, apparently Conrad Nagel was slated to star in the movie in 1926, but was replaced by Lloyd Hughes somewhere between 1926 and 1929, as he is not billed as being in the movie, and yet we have sold more than one still from the movie that announces he will "play the leading role in Mysterious Island"!

Important Added Info: Note that these stills have the still code for this movie, but the only images from There is a snipe at movie that we have seen with Lionel Barrymore shows him looking very different from how he does here. Of course he might have underwent a significant transformation during the movie itself, or maybe the character evolved over the long time involved in filming (see above).
