(Learn More) Three Godfathers, the 1936 Richard Boleslawski cowboy western ("Peter B. Kyne's great outdoor romance!"; about bank robbers who kill a man during a holdup, and they escape into the desert, and they find a woman who is giving birth, and she dies, but when they learn that the father was the man they killed, they feel it is their duty to get the baby to safety, but it is all they can do to save themselves) starring Chester Morris, Walter Brennan, Lewis Stone, Irene Hervey, Sidney Toler, Dorothy Tree, Roger Imhof, and Jean Kircher (as the baby). Note that the very first adaptation was by Broncho Billy Anderson in 1915's "Broncho Billy and the Baby", followed by another version a year later under the source novel's name, followed by a third version called "Marked Men" in 1919. The first sound version was titled "Hell's Heroes" and directed by William Wyler in 1929, and then it was remade twice more, both times under the source novel's name, in 1936 (this version), and in 1948. The 1948 version featured John Wayne, and the novel not directly remade again since that time, although other movies borrowed elements of the plot. Also note that movie paper of any kind from this early sound version of this movie is extremely scarce. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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: fair to good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. All of the interior pages are incredibly fragile and are chipping and flaking. The covers have tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. The tipped in herald is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
