An Original Vintage Theatrical 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Mad Doctor (released in other English-speaking countries as "A Date with Destiny"), the 1940 Tim Whelan serial killer romantic crime murder thriller (written by Howard J. Green; also written by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, who were not credited on the posters; about a seemingly normal doctor who marries women and then kills them, but because he is a doctor, he is able to say that they died of natural causes, because he does the autopsies!) starring Basil Rathbone (in the title role as the Mad Doctor), Ellen Drew, John Howard, Barbara Jo Allen (billed as "Barbara Allen [Vera Vague]"), Ralph Morgan, Martin Kosleck, and Sheila Ryan (billed as "Betty McLaughlin") NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the movie is called "A Date with Destiny" on this still, which was the working title for this movie! Also note that this still measures 8 1/4" x 10" [21 x 25 cm]. Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has the letters "TRR". One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that the still (and many others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: very good. There are scuffs scattered in the solid black background areas. Learn More about condition grades
