(Learn More) From Hell to Texas (also released as "The Hell Bent Kid" and "Man Hunt"), the 1958 Henry Hathaway cowboy western ("There never was a man like the kid they couldn't kill... From the Cimarron to the Rio Grande..."; "The West's most savage man-chase.. FROM HELL TO TEXAS"; "Every gun in the territory was hired to kill..'The Hell Bent Kid'"; "Based on the book by Charles D. Locke") starring Don Murray, Diane Varsi, Chill Wills, Dennis Hopper, and R.G. Armstrong. Note that Hollywood legend has it that this movie was the one that caused Dennis Hopper (at the time a promising young actor) to be "blackballed" in mainstream Hollywood for many years. The story goes that Hopper clashed with director Hathaway over how he delivered a single line, and that hours of shooting (with innumerable takes) were wasted, and that finally Hopper delivered the line the way Hathaway wanted, but after that, he couldn't get a job in mainstream movies. Oddly enough, he returned to mainstream movies in 1965 in The Sons of Katie Elder, directed by Hathaway (who apparently forgave him over those years), but of course, his career really took off with Easy Rider in 1969!

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
