An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 28 pages) (Learn More) Stanley Kramer's The Men, the 1950 Fred Zinnemann post-World War II (WWII) romantic hospital doctor paralyzed veteran rehabilitation melodrama ("A completely new experience between men and women!..."; "More punch than 'Champion' more guts than 'Home of the Brave'"; "from the producer who dares to make pictures as they've never been made before..."; "Story and Screenplay by Carl Foreman"; "Produced by Stanley Kramer"; about a paralyzed veteran who cannot cope with his injury from World War II) starring Marlon Brando (in his very first movie!), Teresa Wright, Everett Sloane, Jack Webb, Richard Erdman, Virginia Farmer, Dorothy Tree, and Howard St. John. Note that United Artists was panic-stricken at the thought of promoting a movie about a paralyzed man (even though he was a World War II veteran), and so they promoted the movie with an image of Brando shown from the waist up (so you couldn't see his wheelchair!), and the really vague and bizarre tagline, "a completely new experience between men and women!". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 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 to fine, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut and is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
