Every living moment!"; "In a few weeks you'll be so black your own mother wouldn't know you!"; "You're hunted like an animal in the jungle!"; "They warn you- don't look at a white woman!"; "Did you ever have a white woman?"; "When they want to sin, the whites are real democratic!"; "based on the book by John Howard Griffin"; about a man who darkens his skin and passes for black in the South to experience for himself how poorly black African Americans are treated) starring James Whitmore, Sorrell Booke, Roscoe Lee Browne, Al Freeman Jr., Will Geer, and Richard Ward NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
