Cat. #001479012: NEIL HAMILTON

Vintage 3.5 x 5.5-inch black and white postcard portrait, boldly signed and inscribed in black fountain pen in 1935, as recorded on the verso. In very fine condition. Neil Hamilton was a leading man during the silent and early talkie eras, with notable credits like The Great Gatsby (1926), The Mysterious Dr. Fu Manchu (1929), Why Be Good? (1929), the horror flick The Cat Creeps (1930), The Return of Dr. Fu Manchu (1930), Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), and Tarzan and His Mate (1934). He spent the next three decades playing minor roles in entirely forgettable B-pictures, and then found new fame as Commissioner Gordon on T.V.'s "Batman" (1966-1968), as well as in the Batman motion picture of 1966.
