Charming 8x10-inch black and white publicity portrait in his prime, boldly signed in black felt-tip marker in the 1980s. In good condition, with negligible dings to the right border, not affecting the image itself. Alongside classic credits like How Green Was My Valley (1941), Mrs. Miniver (1942) and Madame Curie (1943), durable leading man Walter Pidgeon is renowned by sci-fi buffs for his starring roles as Dr. Edward Morbius in Forbidden Planet (1956) and Admiral Harriman Nelson in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961). He had one horror credit, playing Dr. Amos Larkin opposite Olivia De Havilland and Joseph Cotten in the underrated thriller The Screaming Woman (1972).
