An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More)

Hotel Imperial, the 1939 Robert Florey World War I (WWI) romantic revenge melodrama ("Two trapped by love... amid the danger and chaos of a hate-torn world!"; about a woman who believes her sister committed suicide because of the man she was involved with, and she decides to get revenge in an incredibly elaborate scheme, beginning with getting a job as a maid in the hotel where he lives) starring Isa Miranda (a major Italian actress, who made her Hollywood debut in this movie, but she spoke no English, and delivered her lines phonetically, which did not help at all, and she returned to Italy after one more U.S. movie), Ray Milland, Reginald Owen, Gene Lockhart, J. Carrol Naish, Curt Bois, and Don Cossack Chorus. Note that this movie had a very troubled background. It was first started in the early 1930s when it was to be a sound remake of the silent movie of the same title (which was made in 1927 with Pola Negri), starring Marlene Dietrich, but she did not like the script, and she quit after much filming, causing the studio to lose much money. A few years later, Paramount tried to make it again with Margaret Sullavan in the lead role, but she broke her arm and that ended that. At this point, Dietrich returned, this time with von Sternberg, but the studio had had enough of her, and they hired Italian star Isa Miranda, but they may not have known she did not speak English, and that certainly did not help! A few years later, the movie was remade as "Five Graves to Cairo".

Important Added Info: 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: very good.
