Description
This is a very good to Excellent condition, ORIGINAL 16mm B&W sound movie print ofthe entertaining 1939 adventure-drama feature length motion picture classic titled... "STANLEY AND LIVINGSTONE" Director: HENRY KINGTwentieth Century-Fox borrowed Spencer Tracy, from MGM for the sprawling historical drama Stanley and Livingstone. Tracy plays 19th-century American journalist Henry M. Stanley, an adventure-prone sort who is assigned by his editor (Henry Hull) to locate lost Scottish missionary David Livingstone (Sir Cedric Hardwicke) in darkest Africa. There are perils aplenty before the inevitable meeting in the clearing, capped by the immortal courtesy "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?" Though seriously ill, Livingstone is content ministering to the natives, declining Stanley's invitation to return home. Upon arriving back to civilization, Stanley tells his story of Dr. Livingstone, but without tangible proof, he is accused of perpetrating a fraud. Only at the very last moment is Stanley vindicated; at this point, he decides to go back to Africa to continue the late Dr. Livingstone's work. This didn't happen in real life, nor is the studio-dictated romance between Spencer Tracy and Nancy Kelly completely copacetic with the facts; outside of this, Stanley and Livingstone comes pretty close to living up to Fox's ad-campaign slogan "The Most Heroic Exploit the World Has Known."CAST: Spencer Tracy - Henry M. Stanley Nancy Kelly - Eve Kingsley Cedric Hardwicke - Dr. David Livingstone Richard Greene - Gareth Tyce Walter Brennan - Jeff Slocum Charles Coburn - Lord Tyce Henry Hull - James G.

The scenery is stunningly beautiful. But this is no story for the sake of a travelog... It is a beautiful account of the true historic struggles of newspaperman, Henry Stanley to find "lost" missionary, Dr. David Livingston. George Barnes, the cinematographer, was one of Hollywood's legendary best. He started in silent pictures, including two Valentino classics, THE EAGLE and THE SON OF THE SHEIK, the picture that made a star of Joan Crawford, OUR DANCING DAUGHTERS and SADIE THOMPSON with Gloria Swanson. His subsequent track record was also remarkable, with, among others, FOOTLIGHT PARADE, MEET JOHN DOE, JANE EYRE, and SPELLBOUND. His only Oscar was for REBECCA. Spencer Tracy, Cedric Hardwicke, Charles Coburn, Nancy Kelly and Walter Brennan bring us wonderful performances full of humanity and depth.Exhilarating, Tender, Human, Awe-Inspiring, Wonderful, A Must See Movie!
