Featured 3 times in LIFE!"; "With the exciting music of Henry Mancini, composer of America's best-selling records!"; about famed real-life impostor Ferdinand Waldo DeMara) starring Tony Curtis (in the title role as Ferdinand Waldo DeMara), Edmond O'Brien, Arthur O'Connell, Gary Merrill, Raymond Massey, Joan Blackman, Robert Middleton, and Karl Malden ("as Father Devlin")

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with 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: good, NO CUTS. There is much staining in the upper left of the front cover, but the pressbook is otherwise in pretty good condition.
