Auction History Result 5s0355 REDEMPTION deluxe 10x13 still 1930 John Gilbert & Eleanor Boardman by Ruth Harriet Louise! Date Sold 9/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Still (Learn More) Redemption, the 1930 Fred Niblo Russia romantic love triangle melodrama (partially based on the play 'The Living Corpse' by Leo Tolstoy; about a Russian man who is basically no good, and he seduces a good woman, marries her, and then after she is pregnant and has a baby, he leaves her for his old gypsy girlfriend, and then he appears to be drowned, which frees her up to marry a good man she has met, but then it turns out her crappy husband is not dead after all) starring John Gilbert (this was his first speaking role, but it was released after "His Glorious Night"), Renee Adoree, Conrad Nagel, Eleanor Boardman, and Claire McDowell. Note that Tolstoy's source play borrowed heavily from Thomas Hardy's "Far from the Madding Crowd", which had been written 25 years earlier, but of course, this plot (about a husband returning from the dead) is very commonly used in movies.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock and it has an embossed photographer's stamp in one of the bottom corners. Also note that this still measures 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
