Auction History Result 7r0585 WINGS 7.75x9.75 still 1927 Clara Bow hiding behind screen in passed out Buddy Rogers' room! Date Sold 2/18/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Wings, the 1927 William A. Wellman silent/talking World War I (WWI) military airplane aviation romantic thriller melodrama ("To those young warriors of the sky whose wings are folded about them forever in this motion picture is reverently dedicated."; "Story by John Monk Saunders"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clara Bow, Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Richard Arlen, Arlette Marchal, Gary Cooper (in one of his first major roles!), Jobyna Ralston, El Brendel, Richard Tucker, and Roscoe Karns. Note that Arlette Marchal was a French actress who had some success in American silent films. She was fourth billed when this movie was first released in 1927, but likely she had great trouble speaking English, because when the movie had dialogue added in 1929, she was no longer billed at all! Also note that Clara Bow was the most famous "flapper girl" of the mid to late 1920s (she became known as "The It Girl" after the character she played based on the popular novel by Elinor Glyn). She had a major role in Wings, and was Paramount's biggest star at that time. But she had a notorious private life and seemingly "settled down" when she married cowboy star Rex Bell in 1931 (she had two children and she retired from movies), but sadly in 1949 she went into a mental institution after a failed suicide attempt (she had had psychiatric issues for quite some time) and she was released but never returned to her family, and lived alone until her death in 1965.

A tiny amount was trimmed from each blank border, reducing the size of the still to 7 3/4" x 9 3/4", but only blank white paper was affected. The still was attached to a scrapbook page with glue on the back of each corner. It was carefully removed from the scrapbook page, but there is glue and paper residue on the back of each corner. Fortunately, it does not have any effect on the front, which is in excellent condition (see our images of the front and back). Learn More about condition grades
