Auction History Result m087 BECKY SHARP movie glass lantern slide '35 Miriam Hopkins, Dee Date Sold 3/15/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Becky Sharp, the 1935 Rouben Mamoulian & Lowell Sherman (see below) Battle of Waterloo historical melodrama ("The first full-length production stunningly photographed in wondrous new Technicolor"; "Filmed in the wondrous beauty of the new Technicolor"; "Based on Thackeray's 'Vanity Fair'") starring Miriam Hopkins (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Becky Sharp), Frances Dee, Cedric Hardwicke, Billie Burke, Nigel Bruce, Alan Mowbray, and G.P. Huntley. Note that this was the first full-length feature filmed in Three-Strip Technicolor! Also note that three weeks after filming began on this movie with Lowell Sherman, he caught pneumonia and died, and Rouben Mamoulian was hired to take over, and he chose to scrap the film shot by Sherman during his three weeks on the job, so it is entirely a Mamoulian directed film, even though Sherman was co-credited (out of respect for his passing). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there are two cracks in the bottom right corner of the slide. One is at the edge of the image. The other goes just into the bottom credits area. Neither is very distracting. 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. This glass slide has clear condition problems that causes it to be in less than "very good" condition. We do NOT describe those defects in words (UNLESS the defect is a crack in one or both panes of the slide, in which case we ALWAYS describe it elsewhere within the auction in words), and you can likely see some or all of them in the "large" and "super-sized" images we provide. If you are the sort who can accept a major defect, then you should bid on items in this condition grade, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THEIR VERY CLEAR DEFECTS!
