An Original Vintage Theatrical Color 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still #1 (Learn More) John O'Hara's BUtterfield 8 (the title IS "BUtterfield 8", not "Butterfield 8", because phone numbers back then had the first two letters capitalized, because those were the ones you dialed!), the 1960 Daniel Mann Manhattan New York City call girl romantic love triangle prostitution melodrama ("The most desirable woman in town and the easiest to find... Just call... BUtterfield 8"; "This is Liggett... who called Gloria whenever his wife was away!"; "This is Steve... who knew that no one man owned Gloria!"; "The glamor girl who wakes up ashamed!"; "John O'Hara's Butterfield 8 ...the best seller that tells Gloria's story ...from first man to last"; "Screen Play by Charles Schnee and John Michael Hayes") starring Elizabeth Taylor (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Laurence Harvey, Eddie Fisher (in his final movie role), Dina Merrill, Mildred Dunnock, Betty Field, Jeffrey Lynn, Kay Medford, and Susan Oliver NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that although this still was "printed in Great Britain", it has full NSS information. Perhaps it was intended to be used in both countries (we have heard from collectors who saw these color stills in U.S. theaters at the time the movies were released, but we have not heard from any English collectors as to whether they were used in England at that time). If any English collector knows if this was or was not used in English theaters when the movies were released, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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
