Auction History Result g041 HELL'S HIGHWAY movie glass lantern slide '32 Dix, Liberty Road! Date Sold 6/21/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Glass Slide (measures approximately 3" x 4") (Learn More) Hell's Highway (also released as "Liberty Road"), the 1932 Rowland Brown chain gang prison camp escape family relationship brothers romantic crime melodrama (about a tough convict in a brutal prison whose kindly brother is also there, and the movie focuses on the awful conditions within the prison) starring Richard Dix, Tom Brown, Rochelle Hudson, C. Henry Gordon, and Oscar Apfel. Note that this movie is completely forgotten today, and most people would likely view it as a rip-off of "I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang", but it actually was released two months PRIOR to that classic movie! And it actually bears more resemblance to a movie which clearly heavily borrowed from it, "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", including having a group of black convicts who sing spirituals and songs that advanced the plot! It may not seem possible, but this movie is just as depressing as "I Am A Fugitive", and in this movie, the main character is not innocent, but clearly guilty, and the movie is saying that even guilty criminals deserve humane punishment! Hopefully someone will "rediscover" this movie so it can get the recognition it deserves! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that the black tape has come off of the right edge of the slide, but it is otherwise in good condition! 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. Learn More about condition grades
