(Learn More) Scarlet Street, the classic 1945 Fritz Lang romantic love triangle crime film noir ("The great stars and director of 'Woman in the Window"; "Hello... Lazylegs!"; "Based upon the Novel and Play 'La Chienne'" by Georges de La Fouchardiere and Andre Mouezy-Eon) starring Edward G. Robinson, Joan Bennett, Dan Duryea, Jess Barker, Margaret Lindsay, Rosalind Ivan, Samuel S. Hinds, Russell Hicks, Joe Devlin, George Lloyd, Syd Saylor, Rosalind Ivan, and Anita Sharp-Bolster. Note that this movie bears a tremendous resemblance to Lang's previous movie, "The Woman in the Window", with much the same plot and top cast, and yet both movies came from different source novels (in fact, this movie was essentially a remake of the 1931 Jean Renoir movie "La Chienne")!

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 auctioned. In this April Major Auction, we are auctioning 32 REALLY excellent and extremely rare ones, "the best of the best", 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. 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! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. There is clear tape down the spine and in the top left corner of the cover. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. Learn More about condition grades
