An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" Movie Still (Learn More) Monkey Business, the 1931 Norman Z. McLeod cruise-ship-stowaway seafaring slapstick comedy ("The Four Marx Brothers"; about the four brothers stowing away on a transatlantic cruise ship; concepts from this movie were reused in A Night at the Opera and Room Service) starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx, and Zeppo Marx), Rockliffe Fellowes, Harry Woods, Thelma Todd, Ruth Hall, and Billy Barty NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still has many stamps on the back. One is from 1933, one is from 1938, one is from 1974, and one is from 1977. It appears this still was in the files of some archive, and was used over and over again for publication (which probably explains why it picked up so many minor defects). It is surely an original still! Condition: good. 1" tear in top right corner; tiny surface paper loss in center of Groucho's coat just above his arm; paper loss in all four blank corners; many creases around the edges of the still; crop marks around Groucho's head (apparently just that part of the image was used in some way); scotch tape in the center of the bottom blank border; light creases and smudges throughout the still; discoloration to the right of Groucho and Chico's heads; I don't know to what extent a professional restorer could repair this wonderful still. But I do know the defects are not all that distracting, and I think many collectors could happily display it just as it is! Learn More about condition grades
