It was a picture taken with my phone of a dusty pic in a frame, the picture quality is fine.  It also has the other two signatures and I think we're looking at things differently.  You are thinking money while I see it as if it were on my wall and I told a viewer that it may have been actually signed by a secretary it wouldn't feel ridiculous to have on a wall.  An outright forgery, on the other hand, would.

I am not thinking of money at all. I am thinking authenticity. To display a very common secretarial...

The picture quality - not the dust or whatever is going on there - the image appears a copy of a copy, poorly cropped - legs, tops of heads - missing.

the frame has too much frame part... 

Obviously Heston is the key signature but what about the others?

This is the original still, uncropped and properly printed. It has inherent value w/o any signatures. Click for full image:

I personally ripped up my Heston ttm autographed photos years ago. I hate the idea of fakes being in my collection.

The other are diminished by the "Heston" and the very poor quality image. It is not a very attractive item in my opinion - too many strikes against it. If you enjoy it that is what matters. Many will only see the "Heston".

Humm..it is cropped. 

I can't believe Philip Carter Harris would do such a poor job, he's a member in good standing of the Universal Autograph collectors club

Unless trimmed from an 11x14 photo, I don't see what the dealer has to do with the image - it is just a common copy print. I don't know when you bought this but, as Steve mentioned, there was a time when the secretarial Heston was thought authentic.

Hey - is this a 5x7?

If it was an 8x10 but has been trimmed to 5x7 that would be yet another strike. It sort of looks like a magazine photo - that would also not be great.

2002 or thereabouts...  and it's 8x10, maybe the image was blown and needed to be cropped to fit.  It's also on photo paper

OK - the photo was enlarged from the original still to "make it better". It is good it is on photo paper. Never heard of the seller. OK - the photo was enlarged from the original still to "make it better". It is good it is on photo paper. Never heard of the seller.
