Important Added Info: Note that on this still there is a printed paper snipe attached to the back describing the scene on the front. NOTE THAT THIS SCENE IS ONE I BELIEVE TO HAVE BEEN DELETED FROM THE MOVIE! Of course, my memory may be faulty, but this scene shows Stewart and Arthur returning to his home town (after they had been married, according to the snipe), and getting a giant parade, with a sign that reads, "Send Smith to Congress for Life!". I imagine this scene was cut either because the movie ran too long, or because it was anti-climactic to the shooting scene in the Senate. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail me and I will post it here. NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of the sale is not the number of the still. Because we are selling more than one still from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate the different sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, #3, etc..". Condition: very good. see below for why we don't describe the defects of this item in words Learn More about condition grades
