(Learn More) I Married a Monster from Outer Space, the 1958 Gene Fowler Jr. romantic science fiction (sci-fi) alien horror thriller ("Written by Louis Vittes"; about a woman who gets married to a somewhat odd man, and it turns out he has been possessed by an alien, and that they are preparing to take over the Earth) starring Tom Tryon, Gloria Talbott, Chuck Wassil, Maxie 'Slapsie Maxie' Rosenbloom, and Peter Baldwin. Note that this movie clearly "borrows" heavily from the plot of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which was released two years before (and that movie borrowed heavily from the Robert Heinlein novel "The Puppet Masters", which had been published in 1951). The makers of this movie did not have nearly the budget that Invasion of the Body Snatchers had, but they did the best they could with what they had to work with! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle and it could be re-folded for mailing purposes. It has some minor border wear.
