Description

Skippy (Paramount, 1931). Window Card (14" X 22"). Director Norman Taurog needed his nephew, Jackie Cooper, to cry for a scene in this comedy/drama, so he used one of the more infamous directing techniques in Hollywood history. In front of Cooper, he ordered a stagehand to "just go shoot" Jackie's pet dog. The trick worked well enough to help win an Oscar for Taurog. This window card has repaired creases along the center and on the corners. It has been mounted on card stock. A delightful image of Cooper, along with the character from the Percy Crosby comic strip. Fine+ on Cardstock.
