This hand colored glass slide is an ORIGINAL and it is NOT a reproduction. It was created to be projected onto the movie theatre screen before the film was released to promote the "coming attraction". Some people in the movie collectible world have said, that, glass slides are much rarer than the paper poster memorabilia from the same film and are very rare pieces of film history.
Format:
Glass Slide: 3 1/4" x 4"
Plot Summary:
When heiress Jean Courtland attempts suicide, her fiancée Elliott Carson probes her relationship to John Triton. In flashback, we see how stage mentalist Triton starts having terrifying flashes of true precognition. His partner, Whitney Courtland, uses Triton's talent to make money; but Triton's inability to prevent what he foresees, causes him to break up the act and become a hermit. Years later, Triton has new visions and desperately tries to prevent tragedies in the Courtland family. Can his warnings succeed against suspicion, unbelief, and inexorable fate?
Trivia
:
Gail Russell's car, a Chrysler convertible, is shown entering her driveway, and the license plate "40 R 116" is visible. In the film SUNSET BOULEVARD, William Holden's car, a Plymouth convertible, is described by Finance Man #2 as a "1946 Plymouth convertible, California license 40 R 116"
"Screen Director's Playhouse" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on February 27, 1949 with Edward G. Robinson and William Demarest reprising their film roles.
Early in the picture, a very humble John Triton is shown climbing stairs to his tenement. In the background is clearly shown the Los Angeles funicular railway "Angels Flight", a feature of Bunker Hill in downtown from 1901, running between the close-spaced buildings from Hill to Olive St, south of the entrance to the 3rd St tunnel..The tenements were eventually to fall to redevelopment, as did Angels Flight, which after a hiatus of about 27 years, was restored to service nearby on the hill.

More Info on Edward G Robinson:
Edward G. Robinson was born Emmanuel Goldenberg in Romania in 1892, and his parents took him to the U.S. in 1902. He was a small man, but possessed a gigantic talent! He was a stage actor in the 1910s and 1920s, but when sound came to movies Hollywood turned to Broadway to find talent who could talk, and he made his debut (after two minor roles) in The Hole in the Wall, starring opposite future major star Claudette Colbert, in her second movie. Seven movies later, he starred as Cesare Bandello (Rico) in Little Caesar, and it not only made him a major star, it also ushered in the great gangster movies of the 1930s. It also typecast him, and he made mostly gangster movies in the 1930s and 1940s, sometimes comedies or parodies of his classic image. In 1944 he made the incredibly wise decision to accept third billing in Billy Wilder's film noir Double Indemnity, and he and the movie were wonderful. That same year he also memorably starred in Fritz Lang's uber-depressing masterpiece, The Woman in the Window, and the following year he and Lang virtually remade that movie as Scarlet Street (although the two movies come from different source novels). He settled into character roles in major movies and lead roles in minor ones, greatly enriching such movies as The Stranger, Key Largo, and many more. He was caught up in the HUAAC hearings, and though he wasn't blacklisted, he spent a year on Broadway in plays. As he grew older he continued to enrich lots of movies in character roles, including his great performance as master poker player Lancey Howard in The Cincinnati Kid (opposite Steve McQueen), and as Sol Roth in Soylent Green (opposite Charlton Heston). In real life he was a quiet, retiring man, nothing at all like his onscreen persona of a brash tough man brandishing a cigar like a weapon. He was a lifelong collector, and one of the first in Hollywood to collect fine art, and he accumulated a collection worth millions of dollars. The ultimate proof of just how flawed to Motion Picture Academy's methods were over the years is that not only did Edward G. never win an Oscar, he never even was NOMINATED for an Oscar, and yet he gave some of the finest movie performances over, over a span of over 40 years! He passed away in 1973 at the age of 79.
More Info on Gail Russell
:
Gail Russell was a very beautiful dark haired actress from the 1940s to the 1960s. She signed with Paramount Pictures in 1942 and, at the age of 19, appeared in her first film, Henry Aldrich Gets Glamour.
She was in some of the more notable Paramount films of the mid 1940s, including The Uninvited, Our Hearts Were Young and Gay, Salty O'Rourke, The Unseen and Calcutta. She also co-starred with John Wayne in both Angel and the Badman and Wake of the Red Witch.
She married actor Guy Madison in 1949, but the next year, because it had become well known that she was an alcoholic (she had started drinking on the set of The Uninvited to ease her terrible stage fright), Paramount did not renew her contract.
She quit making movies in 1951, but her alcoholism led to divorce from Madison in 1954. With help from old friends like John Wayne she made a comeback in 1956, but it didn't help much.
Her drinking led to several arrests. Her most notable arrest was on July 5, 1957, when she was photographed by a Los Angeles Times photographer after she drove her convertible into the front of a coffee shop on Beverly Blvd. After failing a sobriety test, Russell was arrested and charged with driving under the influence.
On August 26, 1961, Russell was found dead in her apartment, surrounded by empty liquor bottles and looking much older than her 36 years. She died from liver damage, but was also found to have been suffering from malnutrition at the time of her death.

More Info on William Demarest
