Important Added Info: Note that at this time, it was common for studios to prepare 11x14 stills in two ways. One type of stills would have the copyright information and the title of the movie in the 1/2" across the bottom of each still. Some theaters prefer these, but others preferred to just have photographic images from the movie, so the studios would also print stills that measured 10 1/2" x 14", and only showed the image from the movie, and did not have that bottom 1/2" (called a "slug"). Some collectors prefer 11x14 stills with "slugs", and some do not care. Note that the still offered here does NOT have a "slug". Condition: very good. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
