Auction History Result 4w1547 POINTED HEELS 8x10 key book still 1929 Adrienne Dore full-length modeling a glamorous outfit! Date Sold 6/25/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) Pointed Heels, the 1929 A. Edward Sutherland New York City Manhattan show business romantic love triangle musical comedy ("A Paramount all talking picture"; "By Charles Brackett"; about a chorus girl who is in love with a would-be composer, and there is a suave producer who is in love with her as well) starring William Powell, Helen Kane (billed as "Helen 'Sugar' Kane [the Boop-Bopa-Doop girl]"), Fay Wray, Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, Phillips Holmes, Adrienne Dore, Eugene Pallette, and the Albertina Rasch ballet group (who perform a ballet number with Fay Wray). 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", retitled "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 this still is a key book still, mounted to a linen backing. 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 an extra 1" at the left or top, with 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. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition!
