An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15" [28 x 38 cm]; 32 pages) (Learn More) Slightly Dangerous, the 1943 Wesley Ruggles romantic amnesia mistaken identity comedy ("What a figure she was behind a soda counter! But the satins and sables brought out the best in her!"; "Stop! Dangerous curves ahead! Cinderella came out from behind her soda counter. She'll look adorable in satins and sables."; "Stop! Watch out for curves!"; "'She was cute when mixing sodas in gingham uniforms--but she's gorgeous mixing highballs in silks and satins!'"; "Story by Ian McLellan Hunter and Aileen Hamilton"; a wacky story of Lana Turner as a soda jerk in a small town, and she leaves without telling anyone, and dyes her hair blonde, and everyone at home thinks she has been kidnapped, and then she gets hit on the head and gets amnesia, and the story gets more preposterous from there!) starring Lana Turner, Robert Young, Walter Brennan, Dame May Whitty, Eugene Pallette, Alan Mowbray, and Ward Bond. Note that Lana Turner had been reportedly discovered sitting at a soda counter, and MGM was playfully making fun of that in this movie by having Turner starting out working behind a soda counter!

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 been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, 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. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. 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! Note: We have 15 images of this pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 15 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 5. Condition: fair to good, NO CUTS. This pressbook has three interior sections printed on newsprint that has aged badly and is very fragile. It also has an outer cover printed on better paper, which has staining down the left side, and separation at the spine. Learn More about condition grades
