An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 20 pages) (Learn More) The Tunnel (released in the U.S. as "The Transatlantic Tunnel"), the 1935 Maurice Elvey English science fiction (sci-fi) fantasy melodrama ("GB's Eight Star Special"; "New York to London"; "Based upon the novel 'The Tunnel' by B. Kellermann"; about building a tunnel under the sea from New York to London; in 1935, it seemed like a wild fantasy, but now another project that was once a fantasy has become a reality with the Chunnel that connects London to the continent) starring Richard Dix, Leslie Banks, Madge Evans, Helen Vinson, C. Aubrey Smith, George Arliss (as the British Prime Minister), and Walter Huston (as the President of the United States). Note that Walter Huston played the current President of the United States for the second time (the first time was two years before in Gabriel Over the White House, a wonderful movie!). Note that Arliss and Huston received special billing that reads "Special Portrayals by Mr. George Arliss and Mr. Walter Huston". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that was 18 years ago! 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 to very 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 interior pages are on newsprint and have darkened and are somewhat fragile, but are not chipping. Learn More about condition grades
