Auction History Result 9m575 DINNER AT 8 8x10 transparency 1990s incredible art of Jean Harlow on the rare window card! Date Sold 9/10/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Photographic Transparency (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Dinner at Eight, the classic 1933 George Cukor New York City high society romantic comedy ("Greatest entertainment ever offered by stage or screen"; "From the Sam H. Harris stage play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber"; about a rich couple who throw a dinner for a group of very different New York society types, and young Jean Harlow steals the show as the trophy girlfriend of rich Wallace Beery) starring Marie Dressler, John Barrymore, Wallace Beery, Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Lionel Barrymore, Edmund Lowe, Billie Burke, Madge Evans, Jean Hersholt, Karen Morley, and Phillips Holmes. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the 8x10 transparency in this auction (and 63 other 8x10 transparencies we are currently auctioning in separate auctions) is NOT one that was created by a studio and sent to to newspapers, magazines, TV stations, or reviewers, so that they could use them to create the highest quality ads. These 64 transparencies are of mostly classic movie posters, and they were surely created in the 1990s or later, surely by either an auction house that was auctioning these items, or by a collector who owned these items, and wanted the highest quality image made from that poster. They are NOT from when the movie was first made, but from MUCH later. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this transparency (and also bear in mind that there ARE over 300 transparency lots in this auction that ARE from when the movies were made, and were made by the studios). Each transparency is clearly marked as to which kind they are (and they are in separate sections in the auction, to make it less likely anyone could confuse them). Even though this is not a vintage transparency, and was photographed after the movie came out from a poster, it can still be used to make very high quality reproductions, but bear in mind that we are solely auctioning the physical transparencies and NOT the right to reproduce them, so unless they are public domain, the new owner must acquire the rights elsewhere before reproducing them. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
