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:
Returning from a year up the Amazon studying snakes, the rich but unsophisticated Charles Pike meets con-artist Jean Harrington on a ship. They fall in love, but a misunderstanding causes them to split on bad terms. To get back at him, Jean disguises herself as an English lady, and comes back to tease and torment him.
Trivia
:
Preston Sturges wrote the screenplay specifically for Barbara Stanwyck. He had promised her a great film while working on a previous movie.
After The Mad Miss Manton (1938), The Lady Eve, and You Belong to Me (1941), Henry Fonda would always refer to Barbara Stanwyck as his favorite leading lady.
Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda rarely retired to their dressing rooms between takes. Instead, they hung out with Preston Sturges, listening to his stories and reviewing - and often re-writing - their lines.
Henry Fonda brought his daughter Jane Fonda on set for her fourth birthday party during filming.
At the beginning Henry Fonda makes references to the help of a "Professor Marsdit". Raymond L. Ditmars of the American Museum of Natural History at the time was the best-known reptile expert in the country, the kind of popularizer that Carl Sagan later became.

More Info on Preston Sturges
:
Preston Sturges was a writer and director from the 1920s to the 1950s. Preston Sturges had written plays starting in 1929, but wanted to work in Hollywood, and assisted in writing dialogue in three 1930 movies, but he got his big break in 1931, with when "Strictly Dishonorable" was based on his play of the same name. He became a sort of "script doctor" in the early to mid 1930s, helping "improve" scripts written by others, usually not getting credit on screen for his contributions (one of these movies was "
The Invisible Man
" in 1933). Sturges went on to write many wonderful screenplays in the 1930s, and finally, in 1940, he was allowed to direct "The Great McGinty" (only because he agreed to work at a much lower price if they would let him direct!), and for the next few years, he was the hottest director in Hollywood! Some of his movies include: Easy Living, Christmas in July, The Beautiful Blonde from Basfhul Bend, and Unfaithfully Yours. He passed away in 1959 at the age of 60.
