Auction History Result 2s0065 SHERLOCK HOLMES pressbook 1932 detective Clive Brook, Reginald Owen as Watson, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/7/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18 1/2" [30 x 47 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) Conan Doyle's Master Detective Sherlock Holmes, the 1932 William K. Howard crime mystery thriller ("Based on play 'Sherlock Holmes' by William Gillette with permission of the executors of the late Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Clive Brook (as Sherlock Holmes), Miriam Jordan, Ernest Torrence, Herbert Mundin, and Reginald Owen (as Dr. Watson). Note that this was Clive Brook's second appearance as Sherlock Holmes. He had played the character three years earlier in "The Return of Sherlock Holmes" (the "return of" in the title referred to the character, who had been played in several silent movies). A year after making this movie with Reginald Owen as Dr. Watson, World Wide Pictures made A Study in Scarlet, and perhaps in a money saving measure, they hired Reginald Owen to play Sherlock Holmes, and Clive Brook would never play Sherlock Holmes again!

We have only previously auctioned a title lobby card, seven stills, a glass slide from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this pressbook, and of course, it shows unbelievably rare posters, few of which exist, if any! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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 received 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: fair to good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. The covers are printed on a higher quality paper and the interior pages are printed on newsprint. There is masking tape down the spine and masking tape on the inside of the bottom of the cover that bleeds through to the front. The interior pages are fragile, with tiny paper loss around the edges and there are some clear tape repairs on interior pages and one each on the covers. Obviously, one would much prefer to find another example of this pressbook in better condition, but we don't know that one exists, and the poster page on the back cover is in pretty nice condition and well displays the incredibly rare posters for this movie (see our image).
