Description
You are bidding on an ORIGINAL "coming attraction" Movie Glass/Lantern Slide that was designed to promote the theatrical release of the 1943 (might be a 1947 Re-Release), western feature, "The Desperadoes".

It was created to be projected onto the movie theatre screen before the film was released to promote the "coming attraction". 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.

Glass Slide: 3 1/4" x 4"
Plot Summary:
Popular mailcoach driver Uncle Willie is in fact in league with the town's crooked banker. They plan to have the bank robbed after emptying it, and when Willie's choice for this doesn't show in time, he gets some local boys to do it. When his man does turn up he decides to stick around, as he is pals with the sheriff and also takes a shine to Willie's daughter Allison. This gives the bad men several new problems.
Trivia

When the new safe for the bank arrives Uncle Willie McLeod says it's "built like a battleship." The story takes place in 1863. The term "battleship" did not come into wide use until the late 1880s.

More Info on Randolh Scott:
Randolph Scott was an actor from the 1930s to the 1960s (although he had some uncredited roles in the very late 1920s). He played a wide variety of roles in the 1930s, but later in his career starred mostly in cowboy western movies. He had a very memorable final role in Ride the High Country, opposite Joel McCrea! Some of his other movies include: Seven Men From now, My Favorite Wife, The Tall T, and Ride Lonesome. He was married twice, and had two adopted children. Scott passed away in 1987 at the age of 89.
More Info on Glenn Ford
:
Glenn Ford was born Gwyllyn Samuel Newton Ford in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada in 1916. When he was eight, his family moved to Santa Monica, California. After acting in a road company, he was signed to a contract by Columbia Pictures in 1939 (that same year they signed William Holden, and they made similar movies over the next few years, sometimes appearing together). Ford made 14 movies between 1939 and 1943, but nothing all that memorable, and he had enlisted in the United States Marine Corps (USMC) Reserve in 1942, and he stopped making movies for the duration of the war. In 1943, while still in the Marines, he married actress Eleanor Powell, who was far more famous than he, and they had a son, Peter (who was Ford's only child, and who, many years later, would collect many posters on his dad's movies!). After the war, he had a major breakout role in Gilda in 1946, opposite Rita Hayworth. While everyone mostly just remembers Hayworth's super sexy sheath dress and sultry singing, the movie finally got Ford noticed, but it would be several years before he got more substantial roles (he would appear in two similar movies with Hayworth, The Loves of Carmen and Affair in Trinidad, but neither had the success of Gilda). Ford was one of those actors who aged extremely well (like Robert Mitchum and John Wayne) and who actually had more appeal when he reached his mid 30s than he had ten years earlier! In 1953 he starred in Fritz Lang's ultra gritty film noir, The Big Heat (the movie where Gloria Grahame has scalding hot coffee thrown in her face by Lee Marvin). Lang, Ford, and Grahame would reunite two years later in Human Desire, but it did not have the success of The Big Heat. In 1955, Ford starred in the schoolteacher classic, Blackboard Jungle. In the 1950s and 1960s, Ford alternated between romantic comedies like The Courtship of Eddie's Father and action movies (often westerns). In 1971 he starred in a TV series Cade's County. His roles became fewer in the later 1970s. He played "Pa Kent" in Superman in 1978. His last film appearances were in 1991, and he passed away in 2006. Glenn Ford was a solid performer who appeared in movies in seven different decades, but was often overshadowed by his co-stars. His career started out very similar to that of William Holden, but unlike Holden, Ford did not have some breakout hits in the 1960s that gave his career a resurgence, and he was never really a "superstar", but he left behind a great body of work that includes some very enjoyable films and performances! He passed away in 2006 at the age of 90.

Some of her movies include: The Jolson Story (as "Julie Benson", because the studio could not use Ruby Keeler's name, because she refused), Gone with the Wind (as Suellen), and Here Comes Mr. Jordan. She passed away in 2008 at the age of 91.
