An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 20 pages) (Learn More) Joy of Living, the 1938 Tay Garnett New York City Broadway theater stage acting romantic musical comedy ("Music by Jerome Kern"; "Lyrics by Dorothy Fields"; "Based on an Original Story by Dorothy and Herbert Fields"; about a Broadway star who supports a bunch of sponging relatives, and she meets a sea captain who wants her to retire and live with him on a South Seas island, and after she gets drunk, she marries him and goes away, but she soon misses her prior life, and she returns to it; but at the end, she realizes she belongs with her husband on that island, and she runs to his ship to sail away with him!) starring Irene Dunne, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Alice Brady, Guy Kibbee, Jean Dixon, Eric Blore, Lucille Ball, and Warren Hymer. Note that this is an almost completely forgotten 1930s musical with great music by Jerome Kern. Its plot is incredibly familiar, and it borrows heavily from many classic movies of the 1930s!

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: good, 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. The pressbook had a tipped-in herald that is no longer present. Learn More about condition grades
