1940 Vintage studio photograph of one of the football scenes from the film "Too Many Girls" which is an important chapter in Hollywood history. It is an early movie that depicts both Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz together and in fact, this is the film set where they met for the first time and fell in love, changing entertainment forever. The plot was that Lucille Ball was sent to college and her father secretly hired four football playing "bodyguards" to protect her, one of which was played by Desi Arnaz! Here we see Arnaz in uniform in one of the great football scenes from the film, wearing what looks like Texas Longhorns uniforms! One of the few images from this important film we have ever seen and it presents really well.
