Pursued, the 1947 Raoul Walsh cowboy western ("Produced by United States Pictures for Warners"; "Up out of the land of the lawless storms, this story of love and lust for revenge!"; "A Love as Bold, as Beautiful, as Wild as the Hills that Hid Their Story!"; "Heart-moving magnitude are two wonderful stars in the story of a lonely caress - a story filled with the fears and all the wild fury of the West!"; moody and psychological; kind of a film noir western!) starring Teresa Wright, Robert Mitchum, Judith Anderson, Dean Jagger, Alan Hale Sr., and John Rodney (billed as "and introducing John Rodney"). Note that this movie was produced by "United States Pictures" for Warner Bros. (that's how the credit reads on the poster). United States Pictures was a company founded the year before this movie was made by Milton Sperling, who was coincidentally Harry Warner's son-in-law, and it allowed him to produce movies using Warner Bros. resources and studio, and then sell them the completed movie! It made a number of movies between 1946 and the early 1960s. Of course, in later years, this setup became much more common, as more and more independent production companies made movies that they then released through the major studios, but this was one of the very first.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and the last one was 10 years ago!

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut!
