An Original Vintage Movie Softcover Book (measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/4" [24 x 31 cm]; 34 pages) (Learn More) Top Hat, the 1935 Mark Sandrich romantic singing-and-dancing musical comedy ("Ladies and Gentlemen, here's a Show!"; "America's happy dancing stars are here in a glorious show!"; "See them dance the reckless 'Piccolino,' this gay nation's new ballroom adventure!"; "... Hear the songs you can't forget!"; "The king and queen of rhythm on a joyous jamboree!"; "Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin"; "See them dance the sensational Piccolino"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Edward Everett Horton, Helen Broderick, Erik Rhodes, Eric Blore, Donald Meek, and Lucille Ball (in a bit part as a flower clerk). Note that this was the one of the nine wonderful movies that Astaire and Rogers made between 1933 and 1939 (they made one final movie, "The Barkleys of Broadway", fourteen years later in 1949).

Important Added Info: Note that this looks like an ordinary program book filled with many images from the movie, with some explanatory text and credits for the movie. It has the RKO Radio Pictures logo at the bottom of the cover. But it was published by Whitman Publishing Company in 1935, so it could be a book that was sold in stores. But we don't think so, because there is no price on it, which seems very unusual if it was commercially sold, so we suspect that RKO hired Whitman to publish this book for them. Also note that we have pictured the front cover and several interior 2-page spreads from this book. Condition: good. Some amount was trimmed from the very top and very bottom of the book. It was evenly done, but some of the interior pages have very slight loss in the captions under the photos, so we know there was trimming, and the top and bottom edges are slightly "rough", indicating it was trimmed. We have not seen another example of this book, so we don't know what it should measure. There are stains, scuffs, and tiny bits of paper loss around the edges of both covers.
