An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 9" x 13 3/4"; 10 pages) (Learn More) Doctor Dolittle, the 1967 Richard Fleischer romantic family musical fantasy adventure comedy ("The most joyous entertainment for the whole family!"; "Ride across the sea inside the Giant Pink Sea Snail!"; "Escape a shipwreck and travel on a floating island with cannibals who perform Shakespeare!"; "Join the Fabulous Circus with the only Pushmi-Pullyu in captivity"; "Learn to talk in 500 animal languages from a parrot who speaks 1000!"; "You've never seen anything like it in your life!"; "The gaiety and romance of the world of Doctor Dolittle enhanced by 14 glorious songs."; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a man who suddenly has the ability to talk to animals) starring Rex Harrison (in the title role as Dr. Doolittle), Samantha Eggar, Anthony Newley, Richard Attenborough ("as 'Blossom'"), and Peter Bull. Note that this movie was officially released in December of 1967 (to qualify for the Oscars), but this roadshow version under-performed at the box office, and an edited version was finally given a general release a year later in December 1968, and that continued into 1969. One could argue that the "regular" release posters from December 1968 and 1969 are from a sort of "continuous first release", but we are calling them a re-release ("R69") because of the long delay between the roadshow release and the regular release.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (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!
