Highly rare vintage 8x10-inch black and white portrait for Mel Brooks' Silent Movie (1976), boldly signed with his name alone in black felt-tip pen around the time of the film. In good condition, with two minor tears to the upper left- and right-hand borders, neatly repaired on the verso with tape, so that they essentially do not show when the photo is viewed head-on. Best remembered for his portrayal of Igor in Mel Brooks' Universal horror movie send-up Young Frankenstein (1974), bug-eyed comic actor Marty Feldman died of a heart attack at the age of 48. His autograph is tough to acquire in any format.
