Note that you probably don't recognize the name "John Buckler" and wonder how he was third billed in this movie! He was the son of a noted English actor, Hugh Buckler, and they came to Hollywood, and it looked like the son was off to having a promising career, with parts in David Copperfield and Tarzan Escapes, but after making that movie, both father and son were out driving in Malibu, and their car went off the road and into the ocean, and both men died, and John Buckler was just 30 years old.

Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
