(Learn More) The Verdict, the 1946 Don Siegel (his first significant feature film as a director!) England crime murder mystery thriller ("Prepare to tell them!"; "The suspense is killing!!!"; "From a Novel by Israel Zangwill"; about a Scotland Yard Superintendent who causes a man to be executed, and then evidence turns up that exonerates him, and the man leaves his job in disgrace, and then he gets involved in helping solve another murder, against his will) starring Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, Joan Lorring, George Coulouris, and Rosalind Ivan. Note that people who review this movie all comment on the cleverness of the plot, the quality of the acting, especially from Greenstreet and Lorre, and they also mention the quality of direction, especially surprising, because this was at the start of Don Siegel's career, and it is easy to see why he went on to many great successes!

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. There are stains and smudges around the edges of the cover. Learn More about condition grades
