An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm] Movie Still (Learn More) Follow the Fleet, the classic 1936 Mark Sandrich military Navy sailor romantic musical ("Clear the decks for action!..."; "They're the life of the Navy... in the musical gem of the ocean!"; "Irving Berlin composed the salty songs and tantalizing tunes"; "A 21-gun salute to the mirth of a nation! ...with more new dances... more new songs... more new things to make you laugh and thrill and tingle than you've ever seen or heard before!"; "In the Super-Dreadnaught of musical shows"; "Strike up the band!...

NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/4" [20 x 26 cm]. Note that this still has a stamp on the back in the form of a diamond that has "TRR" running down the center. One certainly might wonder who placed this stamp there and why. The answer is that the still (and many others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from a still collector who has collected for many decades, and long ago he began stamping the back of his stills with this stamp, and "TRR" is his initials! Each of the stills is stamped lightly, and the stamp does NOT affect the front of the still. He is a VERY advanced collector, and he has consigned many wonderful stills to us! Condition: good. There is paper loss in the top right corner and tiny paper loss in the other three blank corners. There are a few tiny stains and some faint creases scattered around the edges.
