Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Also, note that this is a fascinating movie, on several accounts! It was produced by Howard Hawks, and it was the first movie he produced, and he would not direct a movie for three more years! It is a mystery how he came to be the producer of the movie, given that he had not done anything significant prior to this time (and he was only 27), but perhaps the answer lies in the fact that he is credited with writing the movie, and perhaps he would not let the movie be made unless they let him be the producer. Also interesting is that Oliver Hardy is listed as an unbilled screenwriter on this movie, and we don't know how that came about! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good to fine. The cards are in pretty nice condition and they have no tape whatsoever on the front or back, and they never have had any restoration of any kind! Learn More about condition grades
