Auction History Result 8h280 EAST OF JAVA 8x10.25 still '35 Charles Bickford in cool room with two Asian men! Date Sold 6/3/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) East of Java, the 1935 George Melford shipwreck adventure melodrama ("The story of a daredevil derelict gambling his life for love"; "This is the picture! Bickford Badly Torn by Lions"; "Furious drama of derelicts shipwrecked off Simba Sao!"; "Adapted from 'Tiger Island' by Gouverneur Morris"; about a group of people shipwrecked on a deserted island having to fight off lions and tigers that were part of the ship's cargo) starring Charles Bickford, Elizabeth Young, Frank Albertson, Leslie Fenton, Clarence Muse, Siegfried Rumann, and Jay Gilbuena. Note that in order to make this movie seem "extra real", scenes were filmed showing the stars interacting with real life lions and tigers, but that almost turned disastrous when star Charles Bickford was "badly torn" by lions he was acting with. But never one to waste a good opportunity, the studio made one of the two styles of half-sheets showing close up art of a lion mauling Bickford, and put an image of the newspaper headline that came out after that occurred, with a tagline that read "This is the picture!", knowing people would want to see somebody really attacked by a lion!

There is an enlarged tack hole in the bottom center of the image, but the still is otherwise in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
