Auction History Result 2d258 CLAIRVOYANT 8x10 still '34 sexy Fay Wray is the wife of a man who really sees the future! Date Sold 10/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) The Clairvoyant, the 1934 (released in the U.S. in 1935) Maurice Elvey English romantic fortune telling thriller ( "Hexed by the evil eye"; based on the novel by Ernst Lothar; screenplay by Charles Bennett; a clever story of a man and his wife who have a fake mind reading act, but then he discovers he can start to actually see the future, but only when he is in the presence of a particular young woman; he has a vision of a mining disaster that kills hundreds, and he goes to the mine to warn the workers, and when the disaster occurs, he is put on trial for causing it!) starring Claude Rains, Fay Wray, Mary Clare, Ben Field, and Jane Baxter. Note that this is a completely forgotten movie today, which is very sad, because not only does it feature two major Hollywood stars (odd that they are in an English movie!), but also it is written by Charles Bennett, who went on to write several of Hitchcock's best movies, including "The 39 Steps" the following year. Perhaps it will get "rediscovered" one of these days. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has "TRR" running down the center. 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 was a small tear in the lower right blank border that was repaired with tape from the back. There are faint scuffs in the bottom center of the image, but they are mostly noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
