Important Added Info: Note that, included with this Spanish/U.S. pressbook, is the back cover from an original English language pressbook showing almost all of the posters for the movie. Also note that this pressbook was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences. 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. Condition: good.
