(Learn More) No Highway (released in the U.S. as "No Highway in the Sky", but also released in the U.S. under its original English title), the 1951 Henry Koster English airplane aviation disaster thriller ("Nevil Shute's great novel"; "Based on the novel by Nevil Shute"; "Screen play by R.C. Sherriff, Oscar Millard & Alec Coppel") starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Marlene Dietrich, Glynis Johns, Jack Hawkins, Janette Scott, Elizabeth Allen, Ronald Squire, Jill Clifford, and a lot of uncredited actors, including Kenneth More, who played the co-pilot of the plane that crashed! Note that Janette Scott is best remembered for her starring role in "Day of the Triffids" in 1963, which was immortalized in the lyrics of the song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that says "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." She divorced her first husband and married Mel Torme in 1966, which pretty much ended her career, as she quickly had two children. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut and it is folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
