An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17"; 16 pages) (Learn More) The Story of Temple Drake, the 1933 Stephen Roberts pre-Code bad girl kidnapping crime thriller ("Women whispered her name - Men laughed - but remembered!"; "Call her Bad if you will... but not until you've heard her story."; "I can never face the world again!"; based on the novel 'Sanctuary' by William Fauklner; the novel was considered too outrageous to be filmed, because it involved a rich young girl who is kidnapped and raped and then kills her kidnapper, and the movie is somewhat toned down from the novel, but it is still often cited as one of the pre-Code movies that caused the most outrage, and led to the adoption of the Code!) starring Miriam Hopkins (in the title role as Temple Drake), Jack La Rue, William Gargan, John Carradine, and Florence Eldridge NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, 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! Note that this pressbook was folded across the center at one time. Because of this, this pressbook can be sent in one of our standard size packages (if it is purchased together with pressbooks that can NOT be folded, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our oversized packages). But if this pressbook is purchased by itself (or solely with other pressbooks that can be folded), then the shipping will be much lower, because it fits in a standard package. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
