8x10 in. US single-weight glossy copy photograph (not a vintage original photo printed at the time it was taken) from the classic 1930's Broadway-themed musical comedy/romance, STAGE STRUCK, released in 1936 by Warner Bros. and directed by Busby Berkeley. Broadway dance director George Randall (Dick Powell) is stuck with staging a Broadway show starring Peggy Revere (Joan Blondell), a wealthy but untalented performer who is starring only because she is backing the show. Tempers flare during rehearsals, but suave producer Fred Harris (Warren William) smooths things over by pretending to each combatant that each one secretly loves the other. Trouble is, Randall really has eyes for chorus girl Ruth Williams (Jeanne Madden). On opening night, the tempestuous Peggy storms out of the production, leaving Ruth to play the lead and carry the show. Can she pull it off? The image features a fun interior shot of Broadway star Peggy Revere (Joan Blondell), who is dressed to the nines, as she reacts to the ring held in front of her by Broadway dance director George Randall (Dick Powell) as he stares at it. It is in very fine- condition with light signs of wear along the bottom edge. There are no pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws.
