(Learn More) Follow the Sun, the 1951 Sidney Lanfield golf sports biography melodrama ("The real-life love story of two kids from Texas!"; "The Story of Valerie and Ben Hogan"; "based on an article by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan published in the Reader's Digest"; a fictionalized biography of superstar golfer Ben Hogan, who was injured in a car crash, yet came back to have great success as a professional golfer!) starring Glenn Ford (as Ben Hogan), Anne Baxter (as Valerie Hogan), Dennis O'Keefe, June Havoc, Larry Keating, Roland Winters, and Nana Bryant. Note that at this time, Hollywood studios were reluctant to advertise sports biography movies from the sports angle, and so, for this movie, as they did for so many other sports movies, the poster does not mention the word "golf" at all, and there is only a tiny inset image that shows Ben Hogan golfing! 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. 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
