Important Added Info: Note that any movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned anything other than a single lobby card and a style A glass slide (which was 7 years ago, and it sold for $322) from this movie until we received this style B glass slide! Also note that glass slides were designed to be put in a special projector that would project the image onto a movie screen (they use exactly the same concept as 35mm slides). We have taken a digital photo of each that shows the general condition of the overall slide and holder, and we have also made a digital scan that shows the glass image well, but does not show the holder (except as a dark outline). Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
