Aubrey Smith, Dame May Whitty, Gladys Cooper, Peter Lawford, and Elizabeth Taylor (12 years-old, in a bit part).

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 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook (like many MGM pressbooks from this time) was printed solely on newsprint and in more than one section. We believe that several pages are missing, but we don't know exactly how many. Much of the pressbook is there, but please do not bid unless you can accept that pages are missing.
