This is surely one of the finest movies ever made, with remarkable performances, writing, and direction, and if you haven't seen it, you should! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this wonderful candid still shows Billy Wilder directing the actors in the classic scene where Gloria Swanson plays bridge with some of her co-stars from silent pictures. Wilder cast actual major silent stars as the other players, Buster Keaton, Anna Q. Nilsson, and H.B. Warner (although it looks like at this moment, Nilsson was not present and some young blonde was sitting in for her). Also present are crew members standing around smiling at what they are seeing! Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
