Auction History Result 1h039 BOOM TOWN 8x10 movie still '40 Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Marion Martin, Minna Gombell Date Sold 7/10/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" (8x10) Movie Still (Learn More) Boom Town, the 1940 Jack Conway Texas oil drilling romantic love triangle adventure melodrama ("Devil-May-Care Men Fought For Girls And Gold"; "The big all-star dramatic sensation!"; "Based on the story by James Edward Grant") starring Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan, Lionel Atwill, Chill Wills, Minna Gombell, Marion Martin, and Carlotta Monti (who is in the film but not credited on IMDb). Note that in the very late 1930s and early 1940s, MGM had so many major stars under contract that they could put four of their biggest in a single movie, as they did with this great one! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is information about the still printed on the back. Also note that a paper snipe was glued to the back of the still, and then folded over to the front. Normally, this was done rather than gluing the snipe to the back, so that the snipe could be unfolded and the still could be displayed with the snipe unfolded, which would let moviegoers read the information on the snipe in the lobby. However, this snipe was glued on so that the written portion is only readable when the snipe is folded over the bottom of the still, which slightly defeats this purpose (although one can see the top of the still and the snipe at the same time, which could not be done if the snipe was glued on the back). This was done with many stills of the 1930s, but often, the snipes are either partially or completely lost, because it is easier for them to be torn off. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, THE SNIPE DOES NOT HAVE ANY EFFECT ON THE FRONT OF THE STILL! Condition: fine. The still is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
