Auction History Result 7x502 HIT & RUN 9 8x10 stills 1957 great images of Cleo Moore with Vince Edwards & Hugo Haas! Date Sold 7/15/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 9 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Hit and Run, the 1957 Hugo Haas romantic love triangle bad girl crime film noir ("'I can't give you anything but love- and murder, baby!'"; "Two imperfect people plan the perfect crime... Can they get away with it?"; "Kiss-and-go girl..."; "hungry-for-love husband"; "Pay-up Sucker"; "Pick-up girl.."; "Hush-up lover.."; "it's got to explode into... Hit and Run"; "Blonde... Husband... Other man... Under the same roof - and someone's going to die for love!") starring Cleo Moore, Hugo Haas (who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this film!), Vince Edwards, Dolores Reed, and Mara Lea. Note that star/director Hugo Haas was a native of Czechoslovakia, and in 1937, he wrote the screenplay for a movie, "Skeleton on Horseback", based on a play by Karel Capek (best remembered as the author of "R.U.R.", the first literary mention of robots), and that movie was obviously intended as an allegory against Hitler and fascism. When Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia right after the movie was made, Haas fled to the United States, but he never achieved major prominence in movies, although he is well remembered for directing a series of movies about an old man in love with a young beautiful woman (starring Haas himself, with a series of "bad girls", including Cleo Moore)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: SUPER IMPORTANT! THOUGH ONLY EIGHT OF THE STILLS ARE PICTURED, THE HIGH BIDDER ON THIS LOT WILL RECEIVE 9 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. Note that these stills appear in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right of each still. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the stills were printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that they WERE printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So they are original stills from 1957, but they were printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
