An original 1989 black and white press still, approximately 10\" x 8\", issued by MCEG Productions Inc to publicise the British romantic comedy Getting It Right, directed by Randal Kleiser and starring Jesse Birdsall and Helena Bonham Carter; supplied loose as a single unframed, unsigned photograph.The image is a glossy monochrome scene showing Birdsall in a dark suit and tie, seated on a heavily patterned sofa with a tumbler in his hand, beside Bonham Carter in a pale dress with an elaborate hair ornament, her chin resting on her hand. Behind them are panelled walls, a floral arrangement and a cherub-carved chair arm. The photograph is printed on a white border, with the MCEG logo at lower left alongside the credit \"M.C.E.G. Entertainment Group Inc. / (c)1989 M.C.E.G. Productions, Inc. All Rights Reserved\". The printed caption beside it reads: \"Mismatched would-be lovers JESSE BIRDSALL and HELENA BONHAM CARTER await dinner with John Gielgud, who portrays her eccentric father in \'GETTING IT RIGHT\', a contemporary romantic comedy directed by Randal Kleiser.\" The reverse is blank photographic paper carrying the repeated watermark \"THIS PAPER MANUFACTURED BY KODAK\".Condition & sizePre-owned in Very Good condition. The photograph presents cleanly, with a sharp image, good contrast and the printed caption fully legible. There are no tears, creases, folds or pinholes visible, and no writing, stamps or stickers on the front. There is light handling wear and very faint surface marking around the white border, as expected of a press photograph of this age, and the corners show only minor softening. The reverse is blank Kodak-watermarked stock apart from a small dark mark near the right-hand edge. Not signed. Supplied loose and unframed. Please review all of the photographs closely, as they show the actual item you will receive and form part of this description.Approx. 25.4 x 20.3 cm (10 x 8 in); approx. 20 gBackgroundGetting It Right (1989) was directed by Randal Kleiser, best known for Grease and The Blue Lagoon, and adapted by Elizabeth Jane Howard from her own 1982 novel. Jesse Birdsall plays Gavin Lamb, a shy thirty-one-year-old London hairdresser, with Helena Bonham Carter as the eccentric Lady Minerva \"Minnie\" Munday, supported by Peter Cook, Sir John Gielgud, Jane Horrocks, Lynn Redgrave, Judy Parfitt and Shirley Anne Field. It was produced and released through MCEG, the Management Company Entertainment Group. Studio press stills like this were distributed to newspapers and magazines rather than sold to the public, so surviving examples with the original printed caption intact are the sort of ephemera British film collectors seek out, particularly for an early Helena Bonham Carter role.Who it's forThis will appeal to Helena Bonham Carter collectors chasing her earlier work, to collectors of original British film memorabilia and 1980s studio press material, and to admirers of Jesse Birdsall, John Gielgud, Peter Cook, Jane Horrocks and Lynn Redgrave. It also suits anyone building a themed display of cinema stills, and would frame handsomely in a standard 10 x 8 mount.Estimated Date1989. The printed copyright line reads \"(c)1989 M.C.E.G. Productions, Inc.\", and the film Getting It Right was released that year, so the still dates to the original publicity campaign.Please check all images to ensure you are 100% happy before purchasing.
