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:
Ex-confederate officer Clay Fletcher jumps at the chance to reunite with his once lady-friend, Susan Jeffers, when his father, Judge Fletcher, sends him on an errand to El Paso, Texas to get the signature of Susan's father, Judge Jeffers, on a legal document. Once there he finds the judge has become a drunk and a laughing stock, doing the bidding of local magnate Bert Donner and his running dog, Sheriff La Farge. Just as Clay starts straightening out the town's problems, events occur which force him to abandon the legal system and instead adopt the murderous tactics of a vigilante.

More Info on John Payne:
John Payne was an actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. He became an actor in 1936, but had only small success until he was signed by 20th Century-Fox in 1940, and he quickly became one of their top stars, and his most successful movie was the last one he made at Fox, "Miracle on 34th Street". He moved to RKO and reinvented himself as a tough film noir star, and he had a successful career over the next few decades (despite a car accident in 1961 which almost ended his life and sidelined him for two years while recovering). He was married to Anne Shirley from 1937 to 1943 (but she left him in January of 1942), Gloria DeHaven from 1944 to 1951, and Alexandra Crowell Curtis from 1951 to his death in 1989. Some of his other movies include: Kansas City Confidential, Tin Pan Alley, and Sun Valley Serenade. He passed away in 1989 at the age of 77.
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 Sterling Hayden
:
Sterling Hayden was an actor from the 1940s to the 1980s. Paramount had big plans for Hayden but he impulsively joined the OSS (the precursor to the CIA) after the 1941 film Bahama Passage, leaving his beautiful wife Madeleine Carroll and fighting the Germans in all sorts of hair raising adventures in Yugoslavia. Some of his movies include: The Killing, The Asphalt Jungle, The Godfather, Dr. Strangelove (as Jack D. Ripper), The Long Goodbye, Suddenly, and more! He passed away in 1986 at the age of 70.

Some of his movies include: Mr. Deeds Goes To Town, Tall in the Saddle, and Dark Command. He passed away in 1969 at the age of 83.

He spent a lot of time in Hollywood, appearing in a total of 73 movies through 1966, including playing Henry Cameron in "The Fountainhead" in 1946. He passed away in 1977 at the age of 86.
