An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case, the 1930 James Parrott crime murder mystery screwball comedy short (produced by Hal Roach; the already cliched plot of a group of people gathered in a spooky house to find out which one will inherit a fortune, and there is a murderer present; the movie is a comic parody of this old plot!) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Frank Austin, Stanley Blystone, Bobby Burns, and Dell Henderson (a man, playing the housekeeper in drag!). This is widely considered to be one of the most enjoyable of the Laurel & Hardy shorts (and one of the ones that holds up best when viewed by present day audiences!).

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1930 movie paper of any kind from this Laurel & Hardy short is incredibly rare. We auctioned this exact still twice before (and one other still), and the person who last bought it has re-consigned it to us, so it is still only one of two different items from the short we have ever auctioned!

Condition: good to very good. Someone thought so little of this still in the 1960s, that they used it as a backing for a still from 1959's "Swiss Family Robinson"! This caused tape stains around the edge of the back of the still, plus the title of the movie was stenciled onto the bottom of the back (see our image of the back). This caused the borders of the front of the still to yellow unevenly, but otherwise, there are just some faint creases and scuffs scattered in the still.
