Auction History Result #3275 CAPTAIN HATES SEA 6 8x10s'34 McLaglen Date Sold 10/14/2003Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 6 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Stills (Learn More) The Captain Hates the Sea, the 1934 Lewis Milestone all-star high seas sailing romantic adventure screwball comedy ("A tidal wave of laughs!"; "All aboard the looney liner!"; "Story and Screen Play by Wallace Smith"; this was Columbia Pictures' answer to MGM's Grand Hotel, except set on a ship, and they put most of their top stars in the movie, but of course, they were not on the level of MGM's stars!) starring Victor McLaglen, John Gilbert (in his final role and the only time he didn't work with MGM), Alison Skipworth, Wynne Gibson, Helen Vinson, Walter Connolly (in the title role as Captain Helquist), Fred Keating, Leon Errol, Walter Catlett, Tala Birell, and the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Curly Howard, and Larry Fine). Note that this John Gilbert sound movie, like all his sound movies, completely dispels the myth that he had a high-pitched speaking voice, which ended his career! Actually, he had a fine speaking voice, and there is much speculation as to what it was that actually ended his career, and that can be found in various places on the Internet, but it was definitely not his voice! Also note that The Three Stooges play musicians, and that only Larry has any lines, which he delivers with a Yiddish accent! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. We are selling thousands of stills this week, and we can't give detailed descriptions of every one. However, we have linked the small image below to a much larger image that should allow you to get an excellent idea of the still(s) defects (if any). Please realize that these are original vintage stills (most many decades old), and they will have defects typical of decades old photos. The still(s) in this lot have the following general defects (please also look at the larger image by clicking on the image below): border defects including paper loss, pairs of staple holes, and tears as well as minor scuffs and smudges throughout the stills; Note that these stills are slightly "bowed" (they don't lay completely flat). This is common with original vintage stills. The stills could be easily flattened out over time by storing them under weight. Learn More about condition grades
