An Original Vintage Theatrical 7" x 9 1/4" Movie Still (Learn More) The Circus Queen Murder, the 1933 Roy William Neill romantic crime mystery thriller ("Terror in every eye! Panic in every heart! Before the eyes of thousands she was murdered! But how? Why? By Whom?"; "Murder before your very eyes! - But how? ...Why? ...By whom?"; "From the novel by Anthony Abbot"; "Screen play by Jo Swerling"; about a District Attorney who goes on a vacation with his assistant to upstate New York, wanting to "rest", but they encounter a traveling circus, and get mixed up with "marital infidelity, murder, cruelty to animals, and cannibalism") starring Adolphe Menjou ("as the Famous Detective Thatcher Colt"), Greta Nissen, Ruthelma Stevens, Dwight Frye, and Donald Cook. Note that this movie and the prequel "The Night Club Lady" both starred Menjou as Thatcher Colt, and it seemed that this character could have gone onto a successful series like Philo Vance or The Thin Man, but for unknown reasons, the series was abandoned after the two entries. A knowledgeable collector tells us that (unfortunately!) there are no good copies of "The Night Club Lady" remaining, only "gray-market" versions of poor quality. This sequel does have a restored version which was shown at an event celebrating Columbia's 75th anniversary. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 7" x 9 1/4", but it does not appear to be trimmed. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
