Date Sold 6/30/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Standee (measures 32 1/2" x 59 1/4" [83 x 150 cm]) (Learn More) You Never Can Tell, the 1951 Lou Breslow German Shepherd canine dog romantic fantasy comedy ("A picture for people who think they've seen EVERYTHING!"; about an eccentric millionaire who leaves his fortune to a German Shepherd dog, but then the dog is poisoned; fortunately, he is reincarnated as a human detective, and he not only brings his killer to justice, but he also protects, and no doubt falls in love with, the girl who cared for him when he was a dog!) starring Dick Powell, Peggy Dow, Joyce Holden, Charles Drake, Albert Sharpe, and Flame (the German Shepherd dog). Flame is a pretty much forgotten canine star of the 1940s and 1950s (and he was actually the third dog star named "Flame"), but he appeared in 17 movies starting with 1946's "My Dog Shep", and he also starred in "My Dog Rusty", and he appeared in several movies as Shep and as Rusty between 1946 and 1951. In 1952, he made a single appearance in the 1952 TV series "Cowboy G-Men", and then in 1954, he had another single appearance in TV's "The Life of Riley", at which point he retired.

Just about every one of them is "die-cut", meaning that they are cut around the edges to the shape of the image. But while those were from the same time period, they had been poorly stored, and most were quite musty and had other condition issues. NOW WE HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED A DIFFERENT MUCH LARGER GROUP OF 85 STANDEES LIKE THESE, BUT WHILE THESE ALSO HAVE CONDITION ISSUES, THEY ARE NOT "MUSTY" LIKE THE EARLIER ONES WERE! They were apparently stored far better, and while they have aged over the past 60 or 70 years, but most of the defects were likely acquired when they were first used. See the condition area below for a full description of the condition each standee is in, but know that this is a remarkable collection that was well stored for many decades (and standees like this have always been quite rare, because few survived, likely because theaters discarded them after using them)!There are two circular pieces of cardboard attached to the back of the standee that once had a string between them (this is how the standees were originally made), but the strings are no longer present, pretty unusual for standees of this age. This does not have any kind of regular standee backing. We are guessing that you were supposed to lean the standee against a pole and tie the strings from the circles around the pole, but that is just a guess! Condition: good. There are many horizontal scuffs scattered throughout through the standee (including some in the stars' images) and some creases around the edges. The die-cut areas have only slight wear, which is very unusual in standees like these (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
