Wellman silent/talking crime escape railroad train romantic adventure melodrama (based on the story by Jim Tully; in a significant portion of the movie, Brooks is disguised as a boy!) starring Wallace Beery, Richard Arlen, Louise Brooks (referred to only as "The Girl"), Blue Washington, Kewpie Morgan, Andy Clark, and Mike Donlin. Note that most film buffs consider this to be Louise Brooks' finest American movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this great still was used by author Barry Paris in 1989 when he wrote his book about this cult actress called "Louise Brooks: A Biography"! Note that this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra area from the top of the still. Condition: good to very good. The extra top area was neatly trimmed off (see above), and the still was trimmed to 7 1/4" x 9 1/4", no doubt to fit a frame. It has glue stains on the back, but they do not affect the front.
