An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Key Book Still (Learn More) Waterloo Bridge, the 1931 James Whale pre-Code World War I (WWI) military romantic prostitute soldier melodrama ("The picture of the year!"; "The dramatic sensation of the year!"; "from Robert E. Sherwood's great stage success"; about a former chorus girl in London who is forced into prostitution, and she picks up an innocent soldier on the title bridge, and he falls in love with her, and she sees a chance to escape her life, but after talking to his mother, she decides she would be no good for him, and she leaves, but he tracks her down!) starring Mae Clarke, Douglass Montgomery (billed as "Kent Douglass"), Doris Lloyd, Bette Davis (in her third movie, she is 4th billed, and she would soon become a leading lady, and the following year she had her great breakthrough in "The Cabin in the Cotton"), Enid Bennett, and Frederick Kerr. Note that just about everyone thinks this forgotten version of this movie is superior to the 1940 MGM version starring Vivien Leigh and Robert Taylor. That is partially because this pre-Code version is able to be very open about Mae Clarke's profession, but also partly because it was directed by the great James Whale, who went on to create perhaps the finest horror movie ever filmed, The Bride of Frankenstein!

Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still that measures 8" x 10", printed on a heavy paper, with three punch holes at the top (and it once had linen tape on the back of the punch holes, but that was removed). 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 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. Condition: very good. There are three punch holes in the top border (see above). Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
