Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: We WISH we could show you the rest of the pressbook, so you could see the great Al Hirschfeld art of Marilyn, Curtis, and Lemmon, or the set of door panels, or the standees, or the calendar, or all the other cool stuff which probably doesn't exist anymore, but you will have to buy this pressbook if you want to see it! Also 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The covers are mostly separated at the spine. It was once folded across the middle, but it has been stored unfolded for many years, and we would hate to re-fold it. There is a small tear in the bottom border of all pages. One of the supplements is 4 pages and has considerable paper loss in the bottom left, and is in "fair" condition. The 1964 re-release pressbook has 4 pages and is in "very good" condition.
