MGM presents the Astounding Drama of what happens when a fearless test pilot leaves his sweetheart and friends to dare the unknown!"; "The most dangerous and daring mission of all time!"; "You read about them!

Note that there is a REAL mystery to the German release of this movie! For the "Das Neue" program, they put an image of scantily clad Sheree Winton (who played the nurse at the blood bank) on the front cover and a second image of her on the back cover! This was not true of the other German program from "Film Buhne", and she is not featured on any other advertising we have seen! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. There is faint brown staining in the bottom of the front cover. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
