Auction History Result 6c1478 STORM AT DAYBREAK deluxe 7.75x10 still 1933 Kay Francis & Asther by Clarence Sinclair Bull! Date Sold 10/15/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Storm at Daybreak, the 1933 Richard Boleslawski (billed as "Richard Boleslavsky") World War I (WWI) romantic love triangle melodrama (based on the play "Fekete szaru Csereszyne" by Sandor Hunyady; set in Serbia right after the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand and the outbreak of World War I; about a Serbian mayor and his Hungarian best friend who are now on opposite sides, and the friend has an affair with the mayor's wife, but amazingly, the mayor forgives him and gives his life so they can be together) starring Kay Francis ("A girl-wife yearning for romance"), Nils Asther, Walter Huston, Phillips Holmes, and Eugene Pallette. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the movie is called "Strange Rhapsody" on the back of this still, which was the working title for this movie! Note that this still has been trimmed and it now measures 7 3/4" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]. Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Condition: good. Part of the left blank border was trimmed off and there is faint scuffing in the image area. Learn More about condition grades
