Auction History Result 3b1007 NIGHT AT THE OPERA 8x10 key book still 1935 wonderful portrait of Chico Marx by Ted Allen! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie 8" x 10" [20 x 26 cm] Key Book Still (Learn More) A Night at the Opera, the classic 1935 Sam Wood screwball musical opera romantic comedy starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx as Otis B. Driftwood, Chico Marx as Fiorello, and Harpo Marx as Tomasso), Kitty Carlisle (as Rosa Castaldi), Allan Jones (as Ricardo Baroni), Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter King"; as Rodolfo Lassparri), Sig Ruman (as Herbert Gottlieb), and Margaret Dumont (as Mrs. Claypool). Note that MGM added a romantic plot to the Marx Bros. typical screwball comedy, and it really adds to the movie, as Carlisle and Jones have real chemistry together, and their songs are excellent. Of course, this is also the movie that has the Marx Bros.' most famous comedy scene, the "stateroom" scene, plus the great scene of Groucho and Chico attempting to sign a contract!

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 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. Condition: good to very good. There are two punch holes in the top border (see above). There is slight discoloration in the right of Chico's hat and in his shoulder, but it is not very distracting. There are some minor creases and faint smudges around the edges. Otherwise, the still is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
