(Learn More) The Wild Heart (also released as "Gypsy Blood"; this is the re-edited version of "Gone to Earth" which was filmed in 1950), the 1952 Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger English/U.S. romantic tragic melodrama ("LOST to a love she was helpless to resist! ... Jennifer Jones in a performance as memorable as those she gave in 'DUEL IN THE SUN', and 'SONG OF BERNADETTE'."; "A performance as memorable as those she gave in 'The Song of Bernadette' and Duel In The Sun'."; "Alexander Korda presents a production of The Archers"; "Lost to a love without question!... The fire of 'Duel in the Sun'; the grandeur of 'Song of Bernadette'."; "Written, Produced and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger"; based on the novel by Mary Webb; about a beautiful girl who lives in the woods and befriends animals and has a beloved pet fox, and she meets a local squire who unfortunately organizes fox hunts, which kind of guarantees their romance is doomed) starring Jennifer Jones, David Farrar, Cyril Cusack, Sybil Thorndike, and Edward Chapman. Note that two of the greatest people in film history clashed on the making of this movie! The original version in 1950 was called "Gone to Earth", and producer David O. Selznick was distressed to see that his beautiful young wife Jennifer Jones did not have nearly as much screen time as he wished! That led to a court battle between Powell and Selznick, and ultimately, the movie was re-edited and re-released two years later as "The Wild Heart", retaining only two-thirds of the original movie, with the added one-third including many close-ups of Jennifer Jones! 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: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It has tiny paper loss in the bottom right of all pages and has wear and small stains around the edges.
