Auction History Result 3p1892 BROADWAY MELODY OF 1936 candid deluxe 8x10 still 1936 Bull takes altitude shot of brunettes! Date Sold 1/17/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Broadway Melody of 1936, the 1935 Roy Del Ruth New York City romantic theater stage acting comedy musical ("Let's go to the giant show!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Jack Benny, Eleanor Powell, Robert Taylor, Una Merkel, Frances Langford, Sid Silvers, Buddy Ebsen (in his first movie!), June Knight, Vilma Ebsen (Buddy Ebsen's sister, in her only movie role), Harry Stockwell, and Nick Long Jr. Note that this movie was originally titled "Broadway Melody of 1935", but it likely had its name changed to "Broadway Melody of 1936", because it was released near the end of 1935, and they didn't want it to seem "dated"! Also note that this movie includes a wacky sequence where the woman hired to star in the show does not show up, and Sid Silvers has to dress up in drag and convince Jack Benny he is the female star! Note that June Knight was a striking blonde who appeared in 12 movies between 1930 and 1940, two of them in uncredited roles. Perhaps she had bad luck, but her movies were very forgettable, and she is completely forgotten today. If anyone knows more about her or what happened to her career, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful candid still, which is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock, shows what great lengths (and heights!) legendary photographer Clarence Sinclair Bull was willing to go to to get a wonderful image (in this case having his subjects lay down on a bed and him suspended above them, no doubt to recreate a Busby Berkeley-like screen image! Condition: good. The still was used in a newspaper or magazine and there are crop marks and printer instructions around the edges, showing what portion of the still to reproduce.
