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:
It's turn of the century America when Andrew and Veronica first meet - by crashing into each other. They develop an instant and mutual dislike which intensifies when, later on, Andrew is forced to hire Veronica as a saleslady at Oberkugen's music store. What the two don't know is that while they may argue and fight constantly throughout the day, they are actually engaged in an innocent, romantic and completely anonymous relationship by night, through the post office.
Trivia
:
Liza Minnelli appears in the final scene. She's the little girl with Van Johnson and her mother, Judy Garland.
Buster Keaton was working as a gag writer at MGM when this movie was made. The filmmakers approached him to devise a way for a violin to get broken that would be both comic and plausible. Keaton came up with an appropriate fall, and the filmmakers then realized he was the only one who would be able to execute it properly, so they cast him in the film. Keaton also devised the sequence in which Van Johnson inadvertently wrecks Judy Garland's hat, and coached Johnson intensively in how to perform the scene. This was the first MGM film Keaton appeared in since being fired from the studio in 1933.
Liza Minnelli reports that her unhappy facial expression at the end of the film was the result of the wardrobe mistress forgetting to give the toddler underpants; hence, when Van Johnson picked the child up, he had his cold hand on her bare bottom.
June Allyson and Frank Sinatra were originally supposed to play the leads, but Sinatra was unavailable and Allyson dropped out when she became pregnant.
In the scene where Judy and Van Johnson meet in the restaurant, the woman sitting directly behind Judy is wearing the same green and plaid costume worn by Cyd Charisse in The Harvey Girls (1946), which also starred Judy Garland.
