Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a film being released. Often, changes would be made in a film 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. Almost every Academy Award winning film would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. Condition: very good to fine. This pressbook was folded in half at one time.. The ad supplement is folded twice and in fine condition. Learn More about condition grades
