Auction History Result 7f508 ICE FOLLIES OF 1939 8.25x10 still 1939 romantic close up of James Stewart & Joan Crawford! Date Sold 7/2/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Ice Follies of 1939, the 1939 Reinhold Schunzel romantic ice skating sports musical ("Sparking with stars, gayety, girls, music!"; about a married team of ice skaters, but then the wife gets the chance to be in movies, which works, except it jeopardizes their marriage) starring Joan Crawford, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Lew Ayres, Lewis Stone, "The International Ice Follies" (with Bess Ehrhardt, Roy Shipstad, Eddie Shipstad, and Oscar Johnson), and Lionel Stander. Note that this movie featured the unusual romantic pairing of Joan Crawford and Jimmy Stewart, and they really didn't "click", and they didn't make another movie together. Also note that Roy Shipstad, Eddie Shipstad and Oscar Johnson were skaters who founded "The International Ice Follies" in 1936, and it became very successful, and this movie was set at the Ice Follies, but a big problem for the producers was that none of the top stars could skate at all, so they had to center the plot around non-skating scenes, which made for an unusual movie! Later on, the show became known as "Shipstad and Johnson's Ice Follies", and in 1980, they merged with "Holiday on Ice", which is owned by Disney, and they still produce many successful shows with the "...on Ice" titles to this day!
