Description

McQueen and his motorcycle stuntman in Germany filming The Great Escape

Vintage off-white 7.5 x 9.75 guest book page from the Hotel Grunwalder Weinbauer restaurant in Munich, Germany, signed and inscribed in blue ballpoint, “My very best wishes, and continued success to the man that makes the mashed potatoes, Steve McQueen,” and also signed by his wife Neile McQueen. Reverse is signed by four of McQueen’s stuntmen, who write “Aug-3-62, It’s a Great Escape, Roy Sickner,” “Aug 3-62, I’ve had a crashing good time, Roy Jenson,” “Bud Ekins,” and “Just like a home away from home & beats 55.00 per week. Chuck Hayward ‘The Great Escape.’” Also included is another page signed and inscribed by John and Dorothy Sturges. John Sturges was the film’s producer. In fine condition, with a bit of scattered light toning and wrinkling. Ekins is best known for his amazing motorcycle jump near the conclusion of the movie, as McQueen’s character tries to jump from Germany to Switzerland. A large signature directly related to one of McQueen’s most popular and successful roles. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
