(Learn More) Paradiso Terrestre (released in the U.S. in 1960 as "Ritual of Love"), the 1957 Luciano Emmer & Robert Enrio French/Italian seven continents documentary ("Uninhibited as nature itself!";"Unbelievable...but true! Never before such strange, sensuous sights!";"Man meets woman and the ritual of love begins...";"See the frenzied rites celebrating the union of lovers!";"See the bride anoint her body with sacred love oil!";"See the pre-nuptial ordeal of the maidens!"). This is a fascinating movie. 27 explorers and 60 cameramen went on seven different expeditions to the continents of the world (including Antarctica), and they brought back footage from all their travels, which were combined together into this documentary by Luciano Emmer. Unfortunately for them, the American distributor they found for the movie, Pacemaker Pictures of New York City, felt that the only way to "sell" the movie was to present it as a sexploitation film, and they focused on the Tahiti portion of it and used the many lurid taglines described above! We have only auctioned U.S. and French material from this documentary, and the French material treated it the same way. We don't know if it received a serious "straight" release anywhere! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that was 6 years ago! 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 received 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
