(Learn More) One Eyed Jacks, the 1961 Marlon Brando revenge cowboy western ("The motion picture that starts its own tradition of greatness!"; "Based on the novel 'The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones' By Charles Neider") starring Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, Katy Jurado, Ben Johnson, Pina Pellicer (billed as "introducing Pina Pellicer"), Nacho Galindo, Slim Pickens, and Mina Martinez. This bizarre western (which was a fictionalized version of events in the life of Billy the Kid) was, for many years, the record holder for the most amount of footage shot for a single movie. Director Brando apparently shot over 24 hours of footage and his initial cut of the movie ran around 8 hours! Note, too, that planning for the movie began in late 1958 (with Stanley Kubrick as the proposed director), but all the delays, and Brando's endless filming, meant that the movie was not completed until late 1960, and released in 1961. However, some of the movie paper has a 1959 copyright, showing that, at that point, they hoped it would be released either that year or in 1960. 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. Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (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!
