An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 20 pages). Also included is an ad supplement that has . (Learn More) Erich von Stroheim's The Wedding March, the 1928 Erich von Stroheim Vienna Austria romantic marriage melodrama ("The man you love to hate as he appears in The Wedding March"; about an impoverished aristocrat who falls in love with a poor inn-keeper's daughter but he will not marry her because he wants to marry into a wealthy family) starring Erich von Stroheim, Fay Wray, George Fawcett, Maude George, George Nichols, Zasu Pitts, Hughie Mack, Matthew Betz, and Danny Hoy. Note that amazingly, von Stroheim originally planned to have this be a "set" of two films which would be shown on consecutive nights (The Wedding March would be shown on the first night, and then the audiences were expected to return on the second night, to see the second film, a sequel to the first, with the same actors, called "The Honeymoon")! All of the footage for both films was shot but Stroheim's edit of the first film (The Wedding March) was over four hours long, and Paramount had it re-edited by someone else. Then, after The Wedding March received poor reviews and low box office totals, the sequel (The Honeymoon) was only released in Europe and South America, and movie paper from it is beyond rare! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle at one time and is partially separating across the middle of part of the back cover and many of the interior pages. The interior pages were printed on newsprint and they are extremely fragile, but the covers are printed on a much better paper. Learn More about condition grades
