Drama poignantly real! Laughter joyously human!"; "Three people who make life more exciting.... love more precious... laughter more joyous!"; "A motion picture made for laughs... thrills... cheers!"; "Great stars bring you a heart-stir-ring screen adventure!"; "Screen play by Irwin Shaw and Sidney Buchman"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about an eminent law professor who is staying at the home of a school teacher, and he lets a gardener stay there as well, but the gardener is actually an escapee from a prison, and eventually, the professor and the teacher learn of his true identity, and the professor clears him of the charges against him, even though it means he will lose the school teacher to him romantically; this was a good movie that was made better by the tremendous "star power" of the three lead actors!) starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Ronald Colman, Edgar Buchanan, Glenda Farrell, Tom Tyler, and Charles Dingle NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still is from a special set of "color glos" stills, which means it was printed on a photo type of paper and have a glossier front, with more vivid colors. This is something the studios experimented with in the late 1930s and early 1940s, for both 8x10 stills and 11x14 stills. Also note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good. There are some faint smudges in the middle right of the image background (in the solid dark area). Learn More about condition grades
