Important Added Info: Note that low level studio employees would write the text for the snipes on the back of stills like these, and they did not have to be knowledgeable about movies or movie stars. This is glaringly evident by the snipe on the back of this still that describes the women assisting Carolyn Jones as "lady costume department fitters", when one of them is the legendary Edith Head, who won many Oscars for costume design! Note that this still was consigned to us by legendary collector/dealer Marty Davis! Marty was hired in 1972 to evaluate the entire collection of W. Ward Marsh (1893-1971), who was the film critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper from 1919, until his retirement in 1970. In 1919 Marsh wrote his first of 23,000 movie reviews for the Plain Dealer. Marsh died less than a year after his retirement in 1970. His library, and photographic and memorabilia archives were given to the proprietor of Cleveland's finest bookstore. Marty Davis was the first person with a background in film history and collectibles to examine the archives. He worked for three to four hours a day, for six months, and his compensation was his pick of the archives. This still is from the W. Ward Marsh archives, and it was stamped on the back by Marty Davis to indicate that it came from this legendary collection. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock.
