He took it raw like his bourbon and his sin!"; "No picture has ever dared hit so close to home!"; "...and you and me [whom he privately calls slobs] we not only let him in our houses once a week...we [slobs] we do whatever he tells us!"; "'I'm not just an entertainer...I'm a force, a power..!'"; "Story and Screen Play by Budd Schulberg"; "Songs by Tom Glazer and Budd Schulberg"; about a poor Southern man who is discovered by a TV agent and becomes very powerful thanks to his folksy appeal, but it is all a front, and he falls as quickly as he rose) starring Andy Griffith (as Lonesome Rhodes), Patricia Neal (as Marcia Jeffries), Anthony Franciosa (as Joey DePalma), Walter Matthau (as Mel Miller; in his fourth movie role!), Lee Remick (as Betty Lou Fleckum), Percy Waram (as General Haynesworth), Rod Brasfield (as Beanie), Marshall Neilan, Charles Irving, Howard Smith, Paul McGrath, Kay Medford, Alexander Kirkland, and Charles Nelson Reilly NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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 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! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. The covers have separated at the spine, but the pressbook is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
