Note that the art style one-sheet poster shows a topless girl with body paint over her chest and belly, and has an image of a man smoking a marijuana cigarette (and the man bears a striking resemblance to Jerry Garcia of The Grateful Dead)! Note that a clever producer bought the rights to this 1970 movie, re-cut it, and turned it into "Ghetto Freaks" and gave it a new release in 1972, with no reference to its earlier incarnation. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook contains unclothed women, so we have placed white bars over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual pressbook does not have those white bars! 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. 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. Learn More about condition grades
