eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Week: Margin For Error pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 10/30/2017 As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES! This week, I have the pressbook from Clare Boothe Luce's Margin for Error, the 1943 Otto Preminger pre-World War II (WWII) Nazi crime murder mystery comedy melodrama ("The most laughs, the most thrills, the most love of the year!"; based on the play by Clare Boothe Luce; about the wife of an anti-Semitic German Nazi consul to the U.S. in pre-World War II New York, and his beautiful wife, and when the consul is murdered, suspicion falls on his wife, but a Jewish policeman from Brooklyn helps exonerate her of the crime) starring Joan Bennett, Milton Berle, Otto Preminger, Carl Esmond, and Howard Freeman. Note that this play was performed on Broadway prior to World War II, with Preminger directing himself in one of the lead roles. In 1943, he directed himself in the movie version, but the movie was very out of date by that time! Here is an image of the front cover and two interior poster
pages: Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
