Girard NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that for the 1958 re-release of this classic war movie, the distributors decided to add the tagline, "MISSILES! JETS! TANKS!", even though the movie dealt with World War I, when there were no jets! Likely this was because in 1958, World War I was 40 years in the past, and Sgt. York was no longer a household name as he had been in 1941 when the film was first released (and even in 1949, when the movie was re-released). Talk about false advertising! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut and it is folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
