An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Mister Roberts, the classic 1955 John Ford & Mervyn LeRoy World War II (WWII) military Naval Navy cargo ship comedy melodrama ("The six-year stage smash on the screen!"; "For pleasure way above and beyond the ordinary - see 'Mister Roberts'"; "Warner Bros happily bring to the screen the happiest play that ever played!"; "The most loved, most laughed-with play of our day-even greater on the screen!"; "Based on the play by Thomas Heggen and Joshua Logan"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a cargo ship in World War II where the crew never sees action, and the chief cargo officer wants desperately to be transferred to the front lines, but the sadistic captain of the ship refuses to let him do so to further his own ambitions) starring Henry Fonda (in the title role as "the original Mister Roberts"), James Cagney ("as the Captain"), William Powell ("as Doc"), Jack Lemmon (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; "as Ensign Pulver"; in his fourth movie role!), Betsy Palmer, Ward Bond, and Phil Carey. Note that Henry Fonda had a massive hit playing in this role on Broadway, and he agreed to star in this film adaptation, which was also very successful! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has an image of artwork created specifically for this movie! Such stills are far more rare than stills which show scenes from the movie! Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from 1955, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There is slight darkening in the left, top, and right borders. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
