Hobson's Gentleman's Agreement, the 1947 Elia Kazan (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) investigation-of-anti-Semitism melodrama ("Produced by Darryl F. Zanuck"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; about a reporter who pretends to be Jewish in order to cover a story on anti-Semitism and personally discovers the depth of bigotry and hatred, even in otherwise "decent" people) starring Gregory Peck (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Dorothy McGuire (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), John Garfield (he was a major star at the time, but he was Jewish, and he took a small role in this movie as a Jewish man who endures prejudice, because of how deeply he believed in what it was saying!), Celeste Holm (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Anne Revere (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), June Havoc, Albert Dekker, Jane Wyatt, and Dean Stockwell NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook, and after seeing it, we now likely know why. It is not a traditional pressbook, but rather it consists of three printed sections, all of which are contained in a printed envelope (we only pictured the front and back cover of the main section, but the other two sections have covers similar to that, and the printed envelope has a small image from the movie and the same words printed on the cover of the main section). Note that this auction also includes the printed envelope this item originally came with! Also 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)! Finally, 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: very good to fine, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The envelope has some darkening, but the three sections are in excellent condition! Learn More about condition grades
