Auction History Result 1e920 BLACK LEGION 3 8x10 stills '36 Humphrey Bogart, Joe Sawyer, Ku Klux Klan! Date Sold 8/24/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 3 Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Stills (Learn More) Black Legion, the 1936 Archie Mayo Ku Klux Klan-like lawyer legal crime thriller (Warner Bros. would not attack the Klan directly by having the group in the movie be actual Ku Klux Klan members, but everybody watching the movie knew what was intended; what is most interesting about the movie is that Bogart plays a pretty nice factory worker who loses his job to an immigrant, and he is convinced to join the Klan, and afterwards, he essentially turns into a really monstrous guy!) starring Humphrey Bogart, Dick Foran, Erin O'Brien-Moore, Ann Sheridan, Robert Barrat, Joe Sawyer (billed as "Joseph Sawyer"), Addison Richards, Eddie Acuff, Paul Harvey, Dickie Jones, and Helen Flint. Note that the Breen office had many problems with the script for this movie (written by Robert Lord, who was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay), specifically because of the racial and religious prejudice addressed in the movie. It seems that Warner Bros. was unsure of how to best promote this movie. The few original posters we have seen have a very small image of Humphrey Bogart, and he is not billed on the lobby cards! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. The still pictured at upper left has pencil writing in the lower left blank border and some edge defects and two have some light creases and a few scuffs, but overall they are in pretty nice condition.
