Tremendous vintage matte-finish 10 x 13 full-length photo of Gable as Fletcher Christian from the 1935 film Mutiny on the Bounty, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Harry, It was 'Mutiny on the Bounty,' Clark.” Reverse bears a William Grimes/MGM credit stamp. In fine to very fine condition. After being lent to Columbia Pictures and winning the Best Actor Oscar for his role in Frank Capra's It Happened One Night, Gable returned to MGM as perhaps Hollywood's biggest draw. Mutiny on the Bounty received rave reviews upon release and earned both Gable and costar Charles Laughton nominations for Best Actor. For the second straight year, Gable played lead in a film that would receive the Oscar for Best Picture. Gable remains scarce in signed photos from Mutiny on the Bounty, with this example enhanced furthermore by its uncommon size and fantastic inscription.
