An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15"; 4 pages). Also included are 2 ad supplements that have 2 pages each (Learn More) From the 1970 double-bill release of Fearless Frank (also released as "Frank's Greatest Adventure"), the 1967 Philip Kaufman super hero fantasy comedy starring Jon Voight (in the title role as "Fearless Frank"), Monique van Vooren, Severn Darden, Joan Darling, and Lou Gilbert. Note that this was one of two movies Jon Voight appeared in prior to "Midnight Cowboy". One was "Hour of the Gun", where he had a minor role, and the other was this movie, where he was the star. In between those two movies, he had appeared in a bunch of TV episodes. Once "Midnight Cowboy" became a huge success in 1969, the distributors of this forgotten movie re-released it to theaters in 1970, billing Voight as "that star of 'Midnight Cowboy' rides again...", with a giant image of Voight in a super hero costume. Finally, note that while this movie is completely forgotten, both Jon Voight and director Philip Kaufman went on to long distinguished careers! AND El Millon de Madigan (released in the U.S. in 1970, after Hoffman's great success in "The Graduate", as "Madigan's Millions"), the 1968 Stanley Prager/Giorgio Gentili Spanish/Italian/U.S. detective crime comedy ("The most incredible new comedy ever laughed at!"; "'Super Sleuth'") starring Dustin Hoffman ("in a Hilarious Post-'Graduate' role..."), Elsa Martinelli, Cesar Romero ("as Madigan"), Gustavo Rojo, and Fernando Hilbeck. Note that a knowledgeable collector tells us that, while this film was released after "The Graduate", it was actually filmed before that classic movie and this was Hoffman's second role. This low-budget film was quickly picked up by an American distributor to cash in on the newfound fame of Hoffman. Also, Stanley Prager is usually credited as the sole director on U.S. items while Giorgio Gentili (billed as "Dan Ash") is listed as the sole director on Italian items.

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. Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (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!
