Auction History Result 6j1441 SAFE AT HOME candid 8x10 still 1962 New York Yankees Mickey Mantle & Roger Maris by camera! Date Sold 5/7/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Safe at Home!, the 1962 Walter Doniger New York Yankees baseball sports family comedy ("A Grand Slam"; "Fun and laughter with the greatest guys in baseball... And the luckiest kid in the world!"; "Fun and laughter with the idols of millions and the luckiest kid in the world!"; "Based on a story by Tom Naud and Steve Ritch"; about a little boy who lies about knowing famous New York Yankees baseball players and who then is not bailed out by the players when they refuse to back him in his lie, but they go ahead and invite his entire little league team to come visit them; one of the more implausible plots of all time!) starring Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, William Frawley, Patricia Barry, Don Collier, and Bryan Russell (billed as "the Luckiest Kid in the World"). Note that the main draw of this movie was that the great Yankee baseball players played themselves in this movie, but their acting skills were not the equal of their baseball skills! Also note that Bryan Russell may have been "the Luckiest Kid in the World", but that didn't extend past this movie, because aside from a few minor appearances, he did not have much of a career in film (although his sister played Margaret on the Dennis the Menace TV show)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful candid (which we have never auctioned before) shows a great close up of William Frawley being filmed with a bat in his hand, while Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, and Bryan Russell in uniform stand with the crew (no doubt because it was a close up of Frawley, and that the next scene involved them). Condition: good to very good. There is faint orange grease pencil in the extreme outer edges, with a few faint creases and smudges scattered in the still, but they are mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light.
