Auction History Result 4p005 70,000 WITNESSES LC 1932 star football quarterback Johnny Mack Brown killed in front of fans! Date Sold 2/27/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) Seventy Thousand Witnesses, the 1932 Ralph Murphy football sports mystery crime thriller ("70,000 Witnesses to the most AMAZING CRIME ever committed!"; "On a scoring play --- football star - MURDERED! before 70,000 Witnesses"; "Who did it?"; "From the novel by Cortland Fitzsimmons"; about a star football quarterback who is killed in front of an entire stadium) starring Phillips Holmes, Dorothy Jordan, Charlie Ruggles, Johnny Mack Brown (who was an All-American halfback while attending the University of Alabama), Lew Cody, and David Landau. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
