An Original Vintage Theatrical Deluxe 7 3/4" x 9 3/4" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

It's the Old Army Game, the 1926 A. Edward Sutherland silent romantic screwball comedy ("It's the Old Army Game: Meaning 'Never Give A Sucker An Even Break'"; "From the play by Joseph P. McEvoy"; about a drugstore owner who leases space to a man selling real estate, and when it appears the man swindled people, the drugstore owner leaves town and has all sorts of adventures) starring W.C. Fields, Louise Brooks, Blanche Ring, William Gaxton, Mary Foy, and Josephine Dunn (as a "society bather"). Note that this is a typical W.C. Fields movie in that the plot is very loose and much of the movie consists of Fields performing his trademark gags. As usual in Fields' movies, he has a young female who he has a good relationship with, and in this case it is the young lady who works in his drugstore. But what is wonderful is that young lady is played by Louise Brooks, who would go on to great cult stardom, in some ways rivaling that of Fields himself! However, much of Brooks' scenes concern her and her boyfriend in the movie, played by William Gaxton, and she has almost no scenes with W.C. Fields, and she is not pictured on the posters or the title card.
