Auction History Result 9h643 MALTESE FALCON 8.25x10 still 1941 Humphrey Bogart holding the stuff that dreams are made of! Date Sold 9/16/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Maltese Falcon, the classic 1941 John Huston romantic detective crime film noir ("A story as explosive as his blazing automatics"; "Based on the novel by Dashiell Hammett, Author of 'The Thin Man'"; "Screen Play by John Huston"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Humphrey Bogart (as Sam Spade), Mary Astor (as Brigid O'Shaughnessy), Gladys George (as Iva Archer), Peter Lorre (as Joel Cairo), Barton MacLane (as Lt. Dundy), Lee Patrick (as Effie), Sydney Greenstreet (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Kasper Gutman), Ward Bond (as Tom Polhaus), Jerome Cowan (as Miles Archer), and Elisha Cook Jr. (as Wilmer Cook, the "gunsel"). Note that this was the SECOND re-make of this movie (it had been made in 1931 under the original title, and in 1936 as "Satan Met a Lady", starring Bette Davis in the lead role, but it was THIS version by John Huston, with his screenplay that closely followed the Dashiell Hammett novel, with superlative acting, which is an all-time classic) Note that some of the U.S. posters for this movie used images of Bogart from the 1941 film "High Sierra" (the same is true of some posters for "All Through the Night"!). Note that in all three of these movies (The Maltese Falcon, All Through the Night, and High Sierra), Humphrey Bogart only got the lead part because George Raft turned down the lead in all three! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Condition: good to very good. The still was used in a magazine or newspaper, and someone very faintly outlined the falcon, to make it stand out more, but it is incredibly faint and really not noticeable. There is darkening in the outer edge of part of the left and right blank border. There are some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the middle of the right blank border, and some creases in the lower left blank border, with tiny paper loss in the bottom right blank corner. Obviously, this wonderful still can be framed and the border defects matted over, or one could choose to have restoration performed to the borders only. Either way, the new owner of this still will have a wonderful image to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
