(Learn More) Summer Holiday, the 1947 Rouben Mamoulian family relationship coming-of-age vacation musical comedy ("MGM's great American Musical!"; "Based on the play 'Ah, Wilderness!' by Eugene O'Neill") starring Mickey Rooney, Gloria DeHaven, Walter Huston, Frank Morgan, Butch Jenkins, Marilyn Maxwell, Agnes Moorehead, and Selena Royle. Note that there was a 1935 adaptation of this same Eugene O'Neill play, filmed under its original title. In that movie, Mickey Rooney played the younger brother, the part played by Butch Jenkins in this movie! Also note that this movie was originally filmed in 1946, but was not released until the very end of 1947, for unknown reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Note that MGM created "newsprint only" pressbooks throughout World War II (due to paper shortages). After World War II, they had first continued with similar pressbooks, but they added a two-color cover to them, and this is one of those pressbooks! Note: We have 11 images of this pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 11 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 1. Condition: fair to good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. However, all of the pages of each MGM pressbook from this period were printed on a newsprint that was exactly like what was used in newspapers at that time (see above), and it almost always ages terribly, resulting in incredibly brittle insides. The interior pages are darkened and fragile and there are some light stains on the cover. Learn More about condition grades
