5 Original Vintage Theatrical 7 1/4" x 10" Movie Stills (Learn More)

Philo Vance's Gamble, the 1947 Basil Wrangell detective mystery crime film noir ("Philo Vance plays for his highest stakes!"; "The screen's ace sleuth is tied to kisses... And murder!"; "He's up against his most beautiful clue!"; "Original Story by Lawrence Edmund Taylor") starring Alan Curtis (in the title role as Philo Vance), Vivian Austin (billed as "Terry Austin"), Frank Jenks, Tala Birell, Gavin Gordon, and Cliff Clark. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

Important Added Info: Note that these stills have been trimmed and they now measure 7 1/4" x 10". SUPER IMPORTANT! THIS LOT CONTAINS 5 STILLS, BUT ONLY FOUR OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED! THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 5 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE, and NOT just the four pictured! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best four stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing four of the stills.

Condition: fair. All of the stills have had the bottom border neatly trimmed off. All of the stills have staple holes around the edges and some within the image. Some stills have dot paint stains scattered in the image.
