Auction History Result 7p011 DR. SOCRATES glass slide '35 art of Paul Muni forced to help the mob, and sexy Ann Dvorak! Date Sold 10/4/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Doctor Socrates, the 1935 William Dieterle medical doctor crime thriller ("With the deadliest weapons known to science he fought a thousand killers!"; about a prominent doctor who is forced to help gangsters, and they try to make him their regular physician, but he injects them with a drug that makes them temporarily blind!) starring Paul Muni (in the title role as "Dr. Socrates"), Ann Dvorak, Barton MacLane, Robert Barrat, John Eldredge, Hobart Cavanaugh, and Helen Lowell. Note that Warner Bros. remade this movie just four years later as "King of the Underworld", with Kay Francis playing a female doctor, and surprisingly, there was very little difference between the two movies, even though the lead was now a female! Also, this pairing of Paul Muni and director William Dieterle would prove incredibly successful, because they would go on to make The Story of Louis Pasteur, Juarez, and The Life of Emile Zola together, some of Muni's most successful films!

Important Added Info: 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: very good to fine. The glass slide itself is in nice condition and the cardboard holder has some minor smudges (as can be seen in our super-sized images).
