Trial, the 1955 Mark Robson racial prejudice courtroom lawyer legal melodrama ("This is how it started!"; "an innocent date at the beach - then THIS"; "Come - you can sit with the jury at the trial that rocked and shocked the nation!"; "It started so innocently - a boy and a girl on a beach, then... 'Trial'"; "M-G-M's Shocking Drama"; "Written by Don M. Mankiewicz From His Harper's Prize Novel"; about a Mexican teenager accused of killing a beautiful white girl, and how a prosecutor is appointed to find the boy guilty, but he finds disturbing inconsistencies, and finds that no one wants to listen to him, due to their racial prejudices) starring Glenn Ford, Dorothy McGuire, Arthur Kennedy (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), John Hodiak, Katy Jurado, Rafael Campos (from "The Blackboard Jungle"), and Juano Hernandez
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.
