Important Added Info: Note that RKO was either expecting this movie to be a major blockbuster, or they were wanting it to appear that way, because they made an incredibly elaborate 76 page 12" x 15" pressbook for this movie that is bound at the spine like a softcover book! There was also a deluxe boxed version that was apparently sent to major theaters! Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The pressbook was folded down the middle at one time, and there is much scuffing on the back cover. There is an original herald that is "tipped-in" to the last interior page (that is how the pressbook was sent to theater owners). Learn More about condition grades
