An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Test Pilot, the 1938 Victor Fleming military Army airplane aviation pilot romantic melodrama ("MGM's Greatest All-Star Thrill-Romance"; "Original Story by Frank Wead"; written by Howard Hawks; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a devil-may-care test pilot who has a best friend who is his mechanic, and when they make an emergency landing in a corn field, the pilot sweeps the proverbial "farmer's daughter" off her feet!) starring Clark Gable ("'King' of the screen Greater than in 'San Francisco'!"), Myrna Loy ("'Queen' of the screen Greater than in 'After the Thin Man'!"), Spencer Tracy ("Academy Award Winner Greater than in 'Captains Courageous'!"), Lionel Barrymore, Samuel S. Hinds, Marjorie Main, and Virginia Grey. Note that this was one of three movies that Gable and Tracy starred in as best friends (the other two are "San Francisco" and "Boom Town"), and all three are highly enjoyable and have aged really well, and the chemistry between the two men appears to have extended beyond their onscreen time! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Also note that this still was printed on Kodak paper, but we believe it to surely be an original still. Sometimes, studios would run out of stills and have extras printed on Kodak stock. Condition: good. The still was printed off center, which causes the image to be at an angle and the very bottom left of the credits touches the outer edge of the bottom border, and the image is so far to the right that there is no right blank border. This was a somewhat common printing defect in vintage stills. Otherwise, the still only has some faint scuffs and smudges around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
