An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 12 pages). Also included is an ad supplement that has 6 pages. (Learn More) Sanders of the River (released in some countries as "Bosambo", which was Robeson's character name; see below), the 1935 Zoltan Korda English Nigeria Africa jungle safari adventure thriller ("From the great story by Edgar Wallace") starring Paul Robeson (as Bosambo), Leslie Banks (in the title role as Commissioner R.G. Sanders), Nina Mae McKinney, Robert Cochran, Robert Walker, "and a cast of thousands". Note that when this movie was released in the U.S. and England, it was called "Sanders of the River", and all the advertising greatly downplayed Paul Robeson, who played Bosambo, and was actually the star of the movie. When it was released in other countries, it was called "Bosambo", and all the advertising centered around Robeson in jungle native garb! Note that the Robert Walker credited above was NOT the Robert Walker who starred in the 1940s and 1950s, but a different Robert Walker who started making movies in 1913, and he appeared in an amazing 255 movies through 1953, a 40 year span, but most of those were westerns, and a lot of them were very minor roles, often uncredited.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that example had cuts, but THIS example is complete and uncut! Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie 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. Also note that we have provided an image of all the pages 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 received 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. It has some light stains around the edges of the part that was on the outside when it was folded for mailing. Learn More about condition grades
