Pennies from Heaven
Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures, 1936. Two vintage publicity photographs from the 1936 film, one showing Bing Crosby milking a cow, and one showing Crosby with Amalgamated Theatres representative Sidney Davis on the set. Both photographs with a stamp crediting photographer Ray Jones, and mimeo snipe on the versos.
Not to be confused with 1981 film directed by Herbert Ross and starring Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters.
From the archive of noted Hollywood still photographer Ray Jones. Born in Wisconsin on January 1, 1901, Jones worked for Paramount Pictures in the early 1930s, and went on to be the head of the still photography department at Universal Pictures in 1935, where he worked well into the 1950s.
Based on the 1913 novel "The Peacock Feather" by Katharine Leslie Moore. A wrongly imprisoned singer promises a fellow inmate he will help the family of his victim when released. He subsequently delays his own dreams of being a gondolier in Venice in order to help the young girl and her grandfather. Nominated for an Academy Award.
8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus.
