George and George F. Slavin"; note that the screenplay for this movie was written by Lenny Bruce, who would go on to much fame for entirely different reasons!; his name is clearly credited on the posters, yet for some reason, people rarely note that he wrote the screenplay!) starring Charles Coburn, Spring Byington, Anne Francis, John Agar, George 'Foghorn' Winslow (as the boy in the spacesuit!), Stanley Clements, Emory Parnell, June Clayworth, Don Haggerty, and Beverly Garland NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is part of an amazing collection of 456 different horror/sci-fi pressbooks (our items #5387 through #5842)! The collector who assembled this collection did so over a span of several decades, and to duplicate it would surely take at least that long, if one started today. But on October 30th, every one of these pressbooks will go to a new owner, as all are being sold with NO reserve. Note that this collection spans the years from 1950 to 1972, and just about every single 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi movie is represented here. Also note that we have listed them in DATE order (first by year, and then alphabetically within years). This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire rare pressbooks that almost never are offered for sale! Condition: very good to fine. Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Since pressbooks were INTENDED to be cut up (the theater owners would cut out the newspaper ads to run in their local papers). It is very difficult to find a pressbook that has NOT been cut, and that ads greatly to their value! lightly folded in half at one time; very minor creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the pressbook (more so along the foldline and around the edges) Learn More about condition grades
