Auction History Result 5s0316 I TAKE THIS WOMAN deluxe 10x13 still 1940 portrait of Hedy Lamarr with turban by Willinger! Date Sold 9/6/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 10" x 13" [25 x 33 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) I Take This Woman, the 1940 W.S. Van Dyke (billed as "W.S. Van Dyke II") romantic marriage melodrama ("Man of the hour! Woman of flame!"; "Original story by Charles MacArthur"; about a doctor who helps poor people, who marries a beautiful woman who wants him to be rich, so he abandons the poor and starts treating rich people) starring Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, Verree Teasdale, Kent Taylor, Laraine Day, Marjorie Main, Willie Best, Louis Calhern, and Dalies Frantz. Note that this was a very troubled production. Josef von Sternberg was the original director and quit, and was replaced by Frank Borzage, but then the entire movie was shelved for 10 months. At that point, W.S. Van Dyke was hired, and he pretty much re-shot the entire movie, even though a lot of it had already been shot, and he also re-cast several of the lead roles (for example, Jack Carson is credited, but he only has one line that remained in the movie, and that one was dubbed, because he was not available to re-take it when the movie was being edited)!

Also note that this is a deluxe still printed on double weight paper stock. Note that this is one of 100 deluxe oversized stills (measuring 11" x 14" or similar) which were consigned to us, and they all originated from the legendary James Card Collection! James Card was a film preservationist who, starting in 1948, worked at the newly created George Eastman House in Rochester, New York, and he helped build their massive motion picture collection, preserving movies that had been forgotten at that time. In 1955, he discovered that Louise Brooks was living as a recluse in New York City, and he persuaded her to move to Rochester, where she wrote many letters and some books about her legendary career. Not only do these 100 oversized stills (which we are auctioning individually) have wonderful "provenance", but there is also no fear that they are not from their first release (and many of the stills have photographer stamps on the back or embossed, and some have other information on the back, and several have a stamp that identifies them as being from the "James Card Collection"!
