Auction History Result 2d545 KEY LARGO 8x10 still R50s Bogart, Bacall, Robinson, Barrymore & others watch Claire Trevor! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Key Largo, the 1948 John Huston crime film noir ("Killer against killer, gun to gun, on the hot spot of the Florida Keys!"; "A cast as explosive as its story!"; "You'll see the performances of your life in the hit of their lives!"; set in the Florida Keys during a hurricane!; based on the hit play by Maxwell Anderson) starring Humphrey Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, Lauren Bacall, Lionel Barrymore, Claire Trevor (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Thomas Gomez, John Rodney, Dan Seymour, Harry Lewis, and Marc Lawrence. Note that this was the final movie in which Humphrey Bogart co-starred with Lauren Bacall. They first met during the filming of "To Have and Have Not" in 1944, and then were married in 1945. They re-teamed for "The Big Sleep" in 1946, and then made "Dark Passage" the following year. They teamed again in for this movie in 1948, but they did not make another movie together, likely having a lot to do with their having two children. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is undated, but we think it is quite likely that it is a 1950s re-release (probably from 1956 or after, possibly from when the movie was sold to be shown on TV). We have seen other stills from classic 1930s and 1940s movies that have similar snipes on the back and are on a similar paper stock, and most of them date from 1956 or soon after, when studios re-struck stills from the original negatives for theatrical or TV re-releases of those classic movies. Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has "TRR" running down the center. One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that the still (and many others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: good to very good. There are some tiny black dot ink stains in the center of the image (several fall in Trevor's clothing), but they are not very distracting, and the still is otherwise in nice condition!
