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:
Former big city newsman Larry Wilder is tired of fighting the powers that be and just wants to enjoy his new life as a small-town newspaper editor. He thinks his bucolic new home will provide him with an easy and unconflicted life. But when a young Latino farmworker is goaded into a fight by racist rich boys, Wilder finds himself the only white citizen of the town willing to stand up for the boy's rights. He joins with Sunny Garcia, a staffer for a small weekly newspaper for the Hispanic workers, in trying to see justice done and possibly to save a life.
Trivia
:
The staff at Variety magazine also gave the film a positive review. They wrote, "Racial tolerance gets a working over in The Lawless, but the producers don’t soapbox the message, using it, instead, as a peg on which to produce a hard-hitting drama, equipped with action and fast pace ... Performances all stack up as topnotch, with several being standout."
The film was known as Outrage. Gail Russell had been on suspension by Paramount but got off it to make this film.

More Info on Macdonald Carey
:
Edward Macdonald Carey (March 15, 1913 – March 21, 1994) was an American actor, best known for his role as the patriarch Dr. Tom Horton on NBC's soap opera Days of Our Lives. For almost three decades, he was the show's central cast member.
He first made his career starring in various B-movies of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s (with a few A-picture exceptions like Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt). He was known in many Hollywood circles as "King of the Bs", sharing the throne with his "queen", Lucille Ball.
Some of his other movies were: Variety Girl, The Great Gatsby, Comanche Territory, The Lawless, Cave Outlaws and Roots (1977).
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 John Sands
:
Johnny Sands (April 29, 1928 – December 30, 2003) was an American film and television actor. He worked in over a dozen films, and on television, before he retired from show business in 1971. He then worked as a real estate agent in Hawaii, until retiring in 1991.
More Info on Lee Patrick
:
Lee Patrick was an actress from the 1920s to the 1970s. She is best known for her role as Effie Perine in The Maltese Falcon with Humphrey Bogart! Some of her other movies include: Strange Cargo, Invisible Stripes, The Fuller Brush Girl, and Pillow Talk. She passed away in 1982 at the age of 80.
More Info on John Hoyt

More Info on Tab Hunter
:
Tab Hunter was an actor from the 1950s to the 2000s. Some of his movies include: Battle Cry, Damn Yankees!, and The City Under the Sea. He resurfaced in the 1980s, playing the leads in two John Waters films: Polyester, and Lust in the Dust. He was initially billed as the "Sigh-Guy", and teen girls loved him, not knowing his secret, which was that he was a gay homosexual actor at a time when you could not "come out of the closet", and the studios manufactured romances for him, including a notable one with Natalie Wood. He finally came out of the closet in a tell-all book that he wrote in 2003, but it was not published until 2005. Hunter married Allan Glaser, his companion since 1983, in 2018. Tab passed away in 2018 at the age of 86.
