Auction History Result 2d499 IT candid 8x10 still '27 Clara Bow spends half her paycheck at a fortune telling machine! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) It, the 1927 Clarence G. Badger silent romantic sex appeal comedy ("Story and adaptation by Elinor Glynn"; from the then-scandalous novel by Elinor Glyn; about a poor shopgirl who falls in love with her rich employer) starring Clara Bow, Antonio Moreno, William Austin, Gary Cooper (in a bit part as a reporter), and Priscilla Bonner. Note that this movie was not much different from Clara Bow's other movies of the time, but it had one of the all time great advertising campaigns ever for a single movie, where the "It" of the title referred to a sort of sex appeal, and the public was told that Clara Bow had more of "It" than any other actress, and they bought into that, and the movie was a huge success! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful candid still has a snipe on the back explaining that between scenes while filming this movie, Clara Bow "spent half her weekly paycheck on slot machines and thrill rides" at Venice Beach, California. Normally, we would think this is a wild exaggeration (or perhaps even made up), but knowing how wacky Clara was, we find it totally believable! 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. The top left of the still is lightly rippled, caused by the snipe glued to the back. There are faint smudges scattered in the still, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. There is a tiny tear in the left of the bottom border.
