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:
Joe Norson, a poor letter carrier with a sweet, pregnant wife, yields to momentary temptation and steals ,000 belonging to a pair of ruthless blackmailers who won't stop at murder. After a few days of soul-searching, Joe offers to return the money, only to find that the "friend" he left it with has absconded. Now every move Joe makes plunges him deeper into trouble, as he's pursued and pursuing through the shadowy, sinister side of New York.
Trivia
:
The motion picture was filmed on location throughout New York City and culminated in one of the first modern car chases, before 1968's Bullitt. Part of the story is set in the vicinity of the long-demolished Third Avenue El, a favorite location of the few films made in the city during that era.
The drugstore that Joe Norson calls from is the set of another MGM "film noir", Tension (1949), which was shooting at approximately the same time.
The address given for Lorrison, 170 Central Park West, is the address of the New York Historical Society.
According to Eddie Muller on TCM's Noir Alley (2017-10-15), Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell first appeared together in They Live by Night (1948), filmed at RKO studios in 1947 but put on the shelf by new studio boss Howard Hughes. Former RKO Production Chief Dore Schary feared the picture would never be released, so he paired the actors again in Side Street (1950) at his new studio, M-G-M. Hughes learned of this and, wanting to beat Schary to the punch, finally released "They Live by Night" in the USA in November 1949, just a few weeks before "Side Street" opened nationwide.

More Info on Paul Kelly
:
Paul Kelly was an actor from the 1910s to the 1950s. He had one of the most remarkable lives of any Hollywood actor ever! He was a successful juvenile actor in the 1910s, and unlike almost every other juvenile of that time period, he successfully transitioned to adult roles. But he became best friends with a married couple Ray Raymond and Dorothy Mackaye in 1927, and he began an affair with Mackaye, and after a night of much drinking, Raymond began beating Mackaye, and Kelly beat Raymond so badly, he went in the hospital, and later died! Kelly was convicted of manslaughter, but the judge and jury were obviously sympathetic to him, and while he served in San Quentin prison, he only served 25 months. He got out in 1930, and surprisingly, he was easily able to resume his film career, and he married Mackaye, who had waited for him. He moved to Broadway after World War II, and won a Tony Award for "Command Decision", and originated the role of the alcoholic actor in "The Country Girl", but the film versions of both of these went to other actors, because Kelly was not a big enough draw. He never became a major star, but he remained active throughout his long career. Kelly passed away in 1956 at the age of 57.

Adele Jergens was a sexy blonde actress from the 1940s to the 1950s.
