Auction History Result 3b0096 HOMICIDE BUREAU pressbook 1938 Rita Hayworth, Bruce Cabot, Marc Lawrence, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 17 1/2" [30 x 44 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Homicide Bureau, the 1938 Charles C. Coleman police detective blackmail murder racketeering crime thriller (about a homicide bureau that is having trouble solving crimes, and the local Citizens' League hires a hot shot woman laboratory worker who is up on the latest scientific techniques to head a "lab and internal affairs" division, and oversee the homicide bureau, and of course, she clashes with the old-fashioned members of the bureau) starring Bruce Cabot, Rita Hayworth, Marc Lawrence, Richard Fiske, Moroni Olsen, and Norman Willis. Note that Rita Hayworth is cast as a highly intelligent scientific executive researcher, and the movie apparently has very little romance. Just a few of years later, and throughout the 1940s, she would be the movies' #1 sex symbol, starring in movies such as "Gilda", and many others! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Condition: fair, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. There are tape repairs on the cover and paper loss in the bottom right of the front cover. Learn More about condition grades
