This hand colored glass slide is an ORIGINAL and it is NOT a reproduction. 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.
Format:
Glass Slide: 3 1/4" x 4"
Plot Summary:
The ruthless, moneyed Hubbard clan lives in, and poisons, their part of the deep South at the turn of the 20th century. Regina Giddens née Hubbard (Bette Davis) has her daughter (Teresa Wright) under her thumb. Mrs Giddens is estranged from her husband (Herbert Marshall), who is convalescing in Baltimore and suffers from a terminal illness. But she needs him home, and will manipulate her daughter to help bring him back. She has a sneaky business deal that she's cooking up with her two elder brothers, Oscar and Ben. Oscar has a flighty, unhappy wife and a dishonest worm of a son. Will the daughter have to marry this contemptible cousin? Who will she grow up to be - her mother or her aunt? Or can she escape the fate of both?
Trivia
:
The role of Regina was originally offered to Miriam Hopkins but director William Wyler didn't want to work with her.
Although the film was a big hit at the box office, because of the terms RKO set up with Samuel Goldwyn, they ended up making a loss of 0,000.
"The Screen Guild Theater" broadcast a 30 minute radio adaptation of the movie on August 6, 1945 with Bette Davis, 'Charles' Dingle' and Teresa Wright reprising their film roles.
Included among the American Film Institute's 1998 list of the 400 movies nominated for the Top 100 Greatest American Movies.
Warner Brothers loaned Bette Davis to Samuel Goldwyn for the role of Regina Giddens.
Although Lillian Hellman has the credit for writing the screenplay for this version of her famous play, three others get credit for additional scenes and dialogue. They were Hellman's ex-husband (Arthur Kober), her closest friend (Dorothy Parker) and the latter's husband (Alan Campbell).
The original stage production of "The Little Foxes" opened at the National Theater in New York on February 15, 1939 and ran for 410 performances. It starred Tallulah Bankhead as Regina Giddens and featured Dan Duryea as Leo Hubbard. As of this date (Aug. 2008), it has had three revivals, starring Anne Bancroft in 1967, Elizabeth Taylor in 1981, and Stockard Channing in 1997.

More Info on Bette Davis
:
Bette Davis was a legendary actress from the 1930s to the 1980s. She was Warner Bros. leading female star throughout the late 1930s, and she continued as a major star throughout the 1940s, and she had one of her greatest triumphs,
All About Eve
(nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), in 1950. She refused to retire, and took out a famous ad in Variety seeking work (citing her two Oscars!), and she starred in
What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?
(nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte in the 1960s. Some of her other movies include: Dangerous (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film),
Jezebel
(winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Now, Voyager (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Of Human Bondage, Star (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Mr. Skeffington (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film),
Little Foxes
(nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Letter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film),
Dark Victory
(nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film) and too many others to list! She passed away in 1989 at the age of 81.
More Info on Herbert Marshall:
Herbert Marshall was an English actor from the 1920s to the 1960s. He was born in 1890, and lost a leg in World War I, but adapted to his disability really well. He initially studied to be an accountant, but he fell in love with stage acting, and except for appearing in one silent movie in England in 1927, he spent 20 years performing on the stage there before he considered the movies. He was just shy of 40 when he made his first American movie, The Letter in 1929, and American audiences loved his voice and his acting! He was a wonderful leading man in the 1930s, and seamlessly transitioned to supporting roles in the 1940s and later, and he had a memorable cameo role in The Fly in 1958. Some of his other movies include: Trouble in Paradise, The Little Foxes, and Foreign Correspondent. He passed away in 1966 at the age of 75.
More Info on Teresa Wright
:
Teresa Wright was born in 1918. This super likeable classy actress was not only nominated for both Best Actress AND Best Supporting Actress in a single year (she won the supporting Oscar for
Mrs. Miniver
) but she also completed the remarkable "hat trick" of being nominated for Oscars for her very first three film roles, something that is highly unlikely to ever be repeated! Her fourth role was the lead in Hitchcock's Shadow of a Doubt, and she also had memorable roles in
The Best Years of Our Lives and The Men
(opposite Marlon Brando, in his first movie). But it seems her heart was never in the movies, and she turned to TV in the 1950s, and did much work on the stage. Personally, I will always remember her best for her role as Eleanor Gehrig, wife of Lou Gehrig in
The Pride Of The Yankees
(nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film)! She is also well-remembered for her role in
The Little Foxes
(nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). She passed away in 2005 at the age of 86.
More Info on Richard Carlson
:
Richard Carlson was an actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. He is most well known for his work in
Creature from the Black Lagoon
, Little Foxes,
It Came from Outer Space
, King Solomon's Mines, Hold that Ghost, and Valley of the Gwangi. He passed away in 1977 at the age of 65.
More Info on Patricia Collinge
:
Patricia Collinge was an Irish actress from the 1940s to the 1960s. Some of her movies include:
The Little Foxes
(nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Shadow of a Doubt, and
Casanova Brown
. She passed away in 1974 at the age of 81.
More Info on Dan Duryea
:
Dan Duryea was an actor from the 1940s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Woman in the Window, Scarlet Street,
The Little Foxes
, Winchester '73, and
Ball of Fire
. He passed away in 1968 at the age of 61.
More Info on William Wyler
:
William Wyler was a great German director from the 1920s to the 1970s. Some of his movies include:
The Collector
(nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), The Best Years of Our Lives,
The Little Foxes
, Dodsworth, Wuthering Heights (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film),
Roman Holiday
, Ben-Hur, Detective Story (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film), and Counsellor at Law. Along with having made many of the greatest movies of all time (across many genres), he also directed more stars to Academy Awards than any other director, and that surely was no coincidence! Wyler passed away in 1981 at the age of 79.
More Info on Samuel Goldwyn
:
Samuel Goldwyn (born "Szmuel Gelbfisz"; it was Americanized to Samuel Goldfish) was a producer and studio executive from the 1910s to 1953. He was a founder of Paramount, Goldwyn Pictures (which eventually became MGM) and Samuel Goldwyn Studios. He is famous for his many quotable statements such as "Include me out"! He was producer of many of the top movies of the 1930s and 1940s. Early in his career, he was a major executive at Paramount, helping Adolph Zukor gain control of the company. In 1916, they had a falling out, and he started a new company with the Selwyn brothers, successful Broadway producers, and they named it "Goldwyn", as a combination of "Goldfish" and "Selwyn", and he was able to gain control of the studio away from the Selwyns, who complained that he "stole everything, including their name"! Goldwyn passed away in 1974 at the age of 94.
More Info on Lilliam Hellman
:
Lillian Florence Hellman (June 20, 1905 – June 30, 1984) was an American playwright, author and screenwriter known for her success on Broadway, as well as her communist sympathies and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947–1952. Although she continued to work on Broadway in the 1950s, her blacklisting by the American film industry caused a drop in her income. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer questions by HUAC, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party.
As a playwright, Hellman had many successes on Broadway, including Watch on the Rhine, The Autumn Garden, Toys in the Attic, Another Part of the Forest,
The Children's Hour
and
The Little Foxes
. She adapted her semi-autobiographical play The Little Foxes into a screenplay, which starred
Bette Davis
. Hellman became the first female screenwriter to receive an individual Academy Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay in 1943. Three years prior, Joan Harrison had been nominated alongside Charles Bennett.
Hellman was romantically involved with fellow writer and political activist
Dashiell Hammett
, author of the classic detective novels The Maltese Falcon and The Thin Man, who also was blacklisted for 10 years until his death in 1961. The couple never married.
