(Learn More) Flesh and Fantasy, the 1943 Julien Duvivier compilation occult fantasy thriller ("The motion picture above all!"; "Based on stories by Oscar Wilde, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis St. Joseph") starring Charles Boyer, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson, Betty Field, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Robert Benchley, Anna Lee, Thomas Mitchell, Charles Winninger, Edgar Barrier, C. Aubrey Smith, and Dame May Whitty. Note that this was a type of compilation movie that became popular in the 1940s, where the movie would adapt multiple stories by either a single author or multiple authors, and they would either have no connection or be loosely connected. The studio that made the movie would put a bunch of their contract stars into the movie so that they would have "an all star cast". 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. This very large pressbook is complete and uncut. It is folded across the middle (it was also slightly folded down the middle at one time). It has some minor wear around the edges and on the folds, and it is partially separating at the spine. Learn More about condition grades
