Important Added Info: Note that this color still (which measures 7 1/2" x 9 1/4" [19 x 23 cm]) was matted by the studio into a nice 11 1/2" x 15" mat that has printed information about the movie at the bottom of the top mat (see our image). Someone wrote "Richee" in pencil on the mat at the bottom right of the still, but we think it is unlikely it is his signature, although it of course could be. Why don't we think this? Because we have another still in a separate auction that also has his name, and that one is written quite differently. So unless he was experimenting with different "signatures", then someone else likely wrote his name. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Condition: very good. The still was lightly glued to the back mat. The top mat was glued to the back mat at the top and bottom, but that glue has come loose, and the two mats are separate. However, it would be the easiest thing to either re-glue it, or to simply frame it as it is, because the mats don't need to be glued. There are some smudges around the edges of the mat and there is a pair of staple holes at the center of the top. The still itself is in nice condition, other than being glued to the back mat.
