An Original Vintage Theatrical 6" x 8" [15 x 20 cm] English Movie Still (Learn More) Devil Doll (released in England as "The Witch of Timbuktu"), the 1936 Tod Browning France fantasy science fiction (sci-fi) revenge horror thriller ("Greater than 'The Unholy Three'!"; about a once respected banker who spent 17 years in jail, and when he escapes, disguised as an old woman, he meets his old friend, who is a mad scientist who has found a way to shrink people to just a few inches tall, and he steals the method, and uses the tiny people, who he can telepathically control, to get revenge on those he feels wronged him!) starring Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O'Sullivan, Frank Lawton, Rafaela Ottiano, and Robert Greig. Note that after the failure of "Freaks" for MGM in 1932, Tod Browning's career, once so promising, was on the downswing. He directed "Fast Workers" the following year, and then was given another horror movie, "Mark of the Vampire" in 1935. That, too, was not a big success, and he followed that with this movie, which most viewers highly praise, although certainly it has the most implausible plot imaginable! He directed one more movie three years later, "Miracles For Sale", and that was the end of a wonderful career! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this English still measures 6" x 8" [15 x 20 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Condition: very good. There is light rippling in the upper left, caused by the snipe glued to the back, and there are some light partial diagonal creases in the lower right, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light.
