Spite Marriage

N.p. N.p., Circa 1929. Vintage reference photograph from the 1929 silent film, showing actors Buster Keaton and Edward Earle shaking hands. Provenance stamp on the verso.

A humble dry cleaner believes he's lucked out when a famous actress agrees to marry him—unaware that he is being used to make her ex-lover jealous. The film was released in two editions: a mute print for silent-only theaters, and a "synchronized" version for sound theaters, accompanied by an orchestra score and sound effects.

Shot on location through Los Angeles and Santa Monica.

10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
