Auction History Result 7y603 NO RANSOM 1sh 1934 Leila Hyams & Phillip Holmes in a Damon Runyon crime comedy, ultra rare! Date Sold 7/4/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) No Ransom (released outside the U.S. as "Bonds of Honor"), the 1934 Fred Newmeyer romantic crime comedy ("suggested by 'The Big Mitten' by Damon Runyon") starring Leila Hyams, Phillips Holmes, Jack La Rue, Robert McWade, Hedda Hopper, Vince Barnett, and Eddie Nugent. 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.
