Vintage Movie Wallpaper of the Day

Rare behind the scenes still with actor Clark Gable and script girl Florence in Manhattan Melodrama. This image comes from an original 1934 still that was fairly badly damaged and had been trimmed at some point for framing (hence the cut off corners). Regardless of its found condition I thought it was a great and very rare image that needed to be restored and preserved, so enjoy. Note this film is most famous for being the one that gangster John Dillinger saw right before being gunned down. The life of Dillinger can currently be seen as portrayed in the new Michael Mann film, Public Enemies (official site).

For contemporary films I don’t recall seeing any like Bruno (official site) release so many non-production publicity stills. These type were much more common decades ago but not so much anymore. In the case of Bruno it works to sell the movie more without giving too much away.

Before Warren Schmidt, Col. Nathan R. Jessep, The Joker, Garrett Breedlove, Jack Torrance, David Locke, R.P. McMurphy, J.J. Gittes, “Bad Ass” Buddusky, Robert Eroica Dupea and George Hanson there was Stoney. The character of Stoney while not perhaps mentioned as often as those others for Jack Nicholson easily ranks up there with the good stuff in his career even if it isn’t Jack Torrance good. Regardless if your a Nicholson buff who needs to see this movie right away this is required viewing for any fan of great cinema. The opening sequence alone from maestro filmmaker Richard Rush is one of my all-time favorites. The one and only time I met Mr. Rush the first thing I immediately talked about was the fantastic intro he had crafted here. It’s so damn good!

Need further proof that this is required viewing? Then be sure to head out to Weird Wednesday next July 8th for one of can’t miss screenings of 2009 (details here).

In this image on the far left we have Dean Stockwell as Dave (his head is turned so you can’t really see him all that well), Susan Strasberg (who is incredible as Jenny) and Jack Nicholson.

By now you have probably seen the trailer with the accompanying Arcade Fire song (watch here) and hopefully it has raised your awareness for how great this latest Spike Jonze film looks. The story by Maurice Sendak was the first book I ever read and as such has a fairly strong place in my heart and imagination. I’m happy this film is finally coming out and whatever the cut ends up being I do hope someday to see the 100% Spike Jonze cut.
