An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Born Yesterday, the classic 1951 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Washington D.C. romantic love triangle political corruption comedy ("It's here At Last!"; "Broadway's Biggest Hit... ...now a perfectly swell motion picture!"; "From the Celebrated Stage Play" by Garson Kanin; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a rich but corrupt junk dealer who goes to Washington to win influence through bribes, and he brings his uneducated girlfriend along and he hires a tutor to teach her proper etiquette, and they fall in love and turn the tables on the corrupt man) starring Broderick Crawford, Judy Holliday (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), William Holden, Howard St. John, and Frank Otto. Note that Judy Holliday had created the role of Billie Dawn in the original Broadway version of this play. Harry Cohn paid $1,000,000 for the rights to the play, and he did not want Holliday to play the part, because he thought she was not well enough known and too "ethnic". All of Columbia's top actresses, including Rita Hayworth, were considered for the role before they finally went back to Holliday, which is ironic, since she won the Oscar for Best Actress!

Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
