An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures 3 1/4" x 4" [8 x 10 cm]) (Learn More) They All Come Out, the 1939 Jacques Tourneur prison crime pseudo-documentary melodrama ("Inside Federal Prisons! The Tough Side! The Human Side! The Inside Stuff! First Time Told! Produced by Privilege of U.S. Government! Four Men And A Girl! Their True Story in Blue Blazing Drama! Alcatraz! Atlanta! Alderson! Chillicothe! The Camera Reveals Them All! See What Really Happens! The Real Thing! Stark! Bold! Gripping! Human!"; "The daring adventures of an ex-convict and his misfortunes!"; "Original story and screen play by John C. Higgins") starring Rita Johnson, Tom Neal, Bernard Nedell, Edward Gargan, and John Gallaudet. Note that Jacques Tourneur had made a series of shorts for MGM, and this one was intended to be a short about how the U.S. penal system made great efforts to rehabilitate prisoners, sorting them by their likelihood of re-offending (keeping first time offenders together, etc). Louis B. Mayer saw this short and thought it had great potential as a B-movie, and he asked director Tourneur to add a "back story" to it that would run at the beginning, showing why the prisoners had been sent to prison in the first place! So the beginning of the movie seems like a standard crime movie of the 1930s, and then it sharply U-turns into a documentary about the penal system! This was Jacques Tourneur's first feature, and it led to a very successful career at RKO, working with Val Lewton! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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). This slide is the kind that has two panes of glass that are taped together with black tape around all four edges (front and back), typical of many older glass slides. We have provided a high quality scan of the image, but we have not taken a photo of the slide, because there would really be very little to see! Condition: very good.
