Auction History Result 7s866 MOON OVER BURMA 3 8x10 stills 1940 sexy Dorothy Lamour, Robert Preston & Preston Foster! Date Sold 6/25/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 3 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Moon Over Burma, the 1940 Louis King Asia romantic love triangle jungle melodrama ("Blazing with the fervor of Burma love and crackling with the jungle tempo of thrills!"; "Ready to love or fight... at a moment's notice!"; "Based on a story by Wilson Collison") starring Dorothy Lamour, Robert Preston, Preston Foster, Doris Nolan, and Albert Basserman. Note that the "sarong girl" image that Dorothy Lamour had started a few years earlier was apparently growing old, because in the studio publicity for this movie, she was called the "new" Dorothy Lamour, and they said "Gone are the studied languor, the posing, and the sarong! This time she swaps cracks at every turn with her co-stars and maintains her high reputation as a singer". Also note that when this movie was being filmed, it had two elephants in it that had been used for many movies, named Sally and Queenie. During filming, they were tragically killed in a fire, and the studio needed more footage with an elephant, so they took a different elephant, Duchess, and put paint on her to make her look more like one of the elephants that had passed away!

Important Added Info: Note that these stills appear in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that they WERE 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 they are original stills from 1940, but they were printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
