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:
A group of adventurers head deep into a South American jungle in search of ancient Incan treasure. A beautiful woman, brought to their camp by hired bearers, has come to join her husband, a newer member of the group, who was recently killed by hostile natives. As the months go by, jealousies and tempers flare as fights break out over the woman. The Incan treasure is finally found but the treaure-seekers, now united by a common enemy, are about to be attacked by hundreds of fierce natives armed with bows and poisoned arrows.
Trivia
:
In later years co-star Vincent Price ridiculed the inanities in this film. After the Medved Brothers' book "The Fifty Worst Films of All Time" came out in the late 1970s, Price declared in an interview that he could not understand how they could not include "Green Hell."
Although Joan Bennett played Vincent Price's wife in the film, they never met until long after the film was completed.
The massive temple set was redressed and reused in several subsequent Universal movies, including The Mummy's Hand (1940) and Phantom of the Opera (1943).

More Info on Joan Bennett
:
Joan Bennett was an actress from the 1920s to the 1980s. Note that in her roles in the 1930s, she had short blonde hair, and in the early 1940s, she massively changed her appearance, with long dark hair (greatly resembling Hedy Lamarr!). She came from a famous acting family (her parents were Richard Bennett and Adrienne Morrison) and her sister Constance Bennett was also a successful actress, and they had a third sister, Barbara, who appeared in a few movies but then retired to become a wife and mother. Some of her movies include: Scarlet Street, The Woman in the Window, Little Women, Father of the Bride, and We're No Angels. She passed away in 1990 at the age of 80.

More Info on George Sanders
:
George Sanders was an English actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. Some of his movies include: All About Eve (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Rebecca, and The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. He passed away in 1972 at the age of 65, committing suicide. His note is as follows: "Dear World, I am leaving because I am bored. I feel I have lived long enough. I am leaving you with your worries in this sweet cesspool. Good luck." Sanders was also Tom Conway's brother. Conway changed his name after a coin toss so the brothers wouldn't get confused!
More Info on Alan Hale Sr
:
Alan Hale, Sr. was born Rufus Alan MacKahan in Washington, D.C. in 1892. At 19 he got a part in a western, and under his stage name of Alan Hale he quickly settled in as one of the top character actors, appearing in over 80 movies between 1913 and 1917. He married actress Gretchen Hartman in 1914, and she herself appeared in 60 movies, but she pretty much retired when they had three children, one of whom was named Alan Hale Mackahan Jr., but was later called Alan Hale, Jr. Hale, Sr. took a break from movies from 1918 to 1921 (I could not discover what he was doing, but maybe he was just making babies!), but returned to making lots of movies, most notably appearing as Little John in the 1922 Robin Hood, opposite Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. In the mid-1920s, he temporarily quit acting again and he directed seven movies, but he soon returned to acting. He had supporting roles (sometimes very minor) in many of the most memorable films of the 1930s. He became great friends with Errol Flynn, and he appeared in 13 of his movies, most notably reprising his role as Little John in the 1938
The Adventures of Robin Hood
, and though he was 16 years older, he looked little different. Hale continued appearing in movies throughout the 1940s, and ironically his final film came in 1950's
Rogues of Sherwood Forest
, where he played Little John for the third time, and he passed away soon after, having appeared in 236 movies in all! Meanwhile, his son,
Alan Hale Jr.
had grown to be almost a duplicate to his dad, and he appeared in many small roles starting from 1941, but never in a movie with his dad. Sometime after his father passed away he dropped the "Jr", and of course he got his big break in 1964 when he was cast as Jonas Grumby in a new TV show called
Gilligan's Island
, and he was strongly identified with that character (known as 'The Skipper') the rest of his life. He passed away in 1950 at the age of 57.
More Info on George Bancroft
:
George Bancroft was a leading actor of the 1920s who seamlessly transferred to character roles in the 1930s and 1940s. Some of his movies include: Thunderbolt (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, The Docks of New York, Angels with Dirty Faces, and Stagecoach. He passed away in 1956 at the age of 74.
More Info on Vincent Price
:
Vincent Price (actually "Vincent L. Price Jr.") was a legendary actor from the 1930s to the 1990s. He is best remembered for his contributions to the horror genre, and some of his movies include:
The Fly
, Laura, The Ten Commandments,
Theater of Blood
, The Abominable Dr. Phibes,
The Last Man on Earth
, and Edward Scissorhands. He passed away in 1993 at the age of 82.
