Auction History Result 2t1933 STUDY IN SCARLET 8x10.25 still 1933 Anna May Wong, Warburton Gamble as Doctor Watson! Date Sold 8/30/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) A Study in Scarlet, the 1933 Edwin L. Marin detective crime mystery thriller ("A Sherlock Holmes adventure by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Reginald Owen (as Sherlock Holmes), Anna May Wong, June Clyde, Alan Dinehart, John Warburton, Alan Mowbray (as Lestrade), Warburton Gamble (as Dr. Watson), and Tetsu Komai. Note that this is an unusual Sherlock Holmes movie, in several respects. A year earlier, Fox had made a "Sherlock Holmes" movie with Clive Brook in the title role and Reginald Owen played Watson, and in this movie, made by World Wide Pictures, but distributed by Fox, Owen now played Holmes! In addition, the Arthur Conan Doyle estate demanded a very high price for the studio to adapt this story, but charged a much lower price to just use the title and the characters, so the studio went with the lower price, and hired Robert Florey to write an entirely new plot. What he came up with was a story where characters are killed one by one, which he "borrowed" from Stanislas-Andre Steeman's 1931 detective novel "Six Hommes Morts", and which Agatha Christie again "borrowed" in 1939 for her classic "Ten Little Indians"!

Also note that until now, we have only auctioned four stills from this movie in all our years of auctioning. We have now been consigned six stills from this movie, which we are auctioning in six separate auctions! Condition: fair to good. There are many pairs of staple holes around the edges and someone put wide pieces of masking tape on the back of each border. There is light scuffing scattered throughout the image, but it is mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. Learn More about condition grades
