An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo, the 1935 Stephen Roberts Monaco romantic gambling casino comedy melodrama ("From the play by Ilia Surgutchoff and Frederick Albert Swann"; very loosely based on a true story; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Ronald Colman, Joan Bennett, Colin Clive, Nigel Bruce, Frank Reicher, Montagu Love, and Maurice Cass. Note that the "system" used by the man that actually "broke the bank" was simply a variation on continually doubling your bet on an even money proposition until you finally win, and then starting over again at one unit! Of course, the fatal "flaw" to this system is that eventually you run into an amazingly bad streak and then you either hit the casino limit, or you run out of money, or both! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that there is a circular area of discoloration and deterioration in the middle of the slide. 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: good. This glass slide has clear condition problems that causes it to be in less than "very good" condition. We do NOT describe those defects in words (UNLESS the defect is a crack in one or both panes of the slide, in which case we ALWAYS describe it elsewhere within the auction in words), and you can likely see some or all of them in the "large" and "super-sized" images we provide. If you are the sort who can accept a major defect, then you should bid on items in this condition grade, BUT PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THESE ITEMS UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THEIR VERY CLEAR DEFECTS!
