Scarce vintage 8x10-inch black and white film, clinging to Humphrey Bogart in the classic spy flick Across the Pacific (1942), boldly signed and inscribed in blue fine-tip pen in 1979. In good condition, with minor handling dings and a Beckett third-party authenticator sticker in the lower right-hand corner. Silent and Golden Age film star Mary Astor was dazzling, if not icy and snobbish, in classics like Beau Brummell (1923); Don Juan (1926); Dodsworth (1936); The Maltese Falcon (1941); The Great Lie (1941), which earned her an Academy Award; A Kiss Before Dying (1956); and Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte (1966).
