Date Sold 8/24/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 11 1953 Re-Release (re-titled "The Man Who Murdered Himself" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Hollow Triumph, the 1948 Steve Sekely mistaken identity gambling crime film noir melodrama ("His scar marked them both!!!"; "From the novel, 'Hollow Triumph,' by Murray Forbes"; about a criminal who is on the run from the law, and he happens on a psychiatrist who is his exact double, except for a scar on his face, and the criminal must give himself a scar that matches the psychiatrist's, but he is looking at a photo when he is doing so, and because the photo is printed in a mirror image, he puts the scar on the wrong side of his face!; amazingly, no one notices the scar in the wrong place, including the psychiatrist's secretary/lover, but ultimately, he is found out!) starring Paul Henreid, Joan Bennett, Eduard Franz, Leslie Brooks, John Qualen, Mabel Paige, and Herbert Rudley. Note that this movie opened in August of 1948, and apparently did not do too well on its first release. In 1949, it was re-titled "The Scar", and a very similar one-sheet was created, with the second title, but there are other slight differences between the two one-sheets as well. In the past, we have always seen the posters from "The Scar" called alternate releases, and we know that there was a 1949 re-packaging of the movie under the new title (and there may have been edits to the film, but we know that the movie WAS released under both titles in 1948 as well). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there are nine different stills and two duplicate still(s) in this lot (not pictured). Please do not bid on this lot thinking you will receive 11 different stills. SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 11 STILLS FROM THIS MOVIE (but realize that on some of these lots with 9 or more stills there may be a few duplicates, mostly on post-1960 lots)! We realize there is an element of gambling to this, but we made only a small effort to find the best stills in these lots, and, if you have any willingness to gamble at all, you may find that you get some great stills that were not pictured! Please do NOT bid on this lot unless you can accept that you are only seeing eight of the stills. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
