An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Knockout Reilly, the 1927 Malcolm St. Clair silent boxing sports romantic love triangle prison melodrama ("From the story 'The Hunch' by Albert Payson Terhune", who was the author of the "Lassie" stories; a steel worker saves a girl in a bar fight by knocking out the man coming on to her, and it turns out the man was a boxer named "Killer"; he becomes a boxer, but is then arrested for a crime he didn't commit, but while in prison, he stays in training, and when he gets out, he fights "Killer"; he is losing, but his girl tells him that "Killer" framed him, which gives him the drive to knock his opponent out in the final round!) starring Richard Dix (in the title role as Dundee 'Knockout' Reilly), Mary Brian, Jack Renault (a real-life Canadian heavyweight boxer, who appears in the movie in fight scenes with Dix!), Harry Gribbon, and Osgood Perkins. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that a paper snipe was glued to the back of the still, and then folded over to the front. This was done rather than gluing the snipe to the back, so that the snipe could be unfolded and the still could be displayed with the snipe unfolded, which would let moviegoers read the information on the snipe in the lobby (and of course, the snipe would be folded backwards, so it would not show). This was done with many stills of the 1930s, but often, the snipes are either partially or completely lost, because it is easier for them to be torn off. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THE SNIPE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE FRONT OF THE STILL! Condition: good. There is a large brown semi-circular stain in the top right of the still, but fortunately, it is mostly only noticeable in the blank border, and slightly in the top right of the image (just extending into the man-at-right's hair). There is a chip in the bottom right blank corner. Other than the above, the still is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
