To Kill a Mockingbird, the classic 1962 Robert Mulligan (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) courtroom lawyer legal family relationship interracial relations melodrama ("The most beloved and widely read Pulitzer Prize Winner now comes vividly alive on the screen!"; "Based upon Harper Lee's novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird'"; "The most beloved and widely read book of the decade now comes vividly alive on the screen!"; "Pulitzer Prize winner"; "The Pulitzer Prize novel that has become a legend in its own time is now a memorable motion picture!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a noble southern lawyer who defends a black African American man falsely accused of raping a white woman, and this courageous act puts his family in jeopardy) starring Gregory Peck (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Atticus Finch), Mary Badham (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as "Scout"), Phillip Alford ("as Jem"), John Megna (as Dill; perhaps based on Harper's friend Truman Capote), Ruth White, Paul Fix, Brock Peters (as Tom Robinson), Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy, Collin Wilcox Paxton (as Mayella), Robert Duvall (in his first role; as "Boo Radley", who was described in some of the advertising as a "mentally-retarded recluse", which is completely wrong!), William Windom (as The Prosecutor), James Anderson, and Estelle Evans (as the maid Calpurnia). Note that for many years, it was believed that the author of the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", Harper Lee, had only written this one book and never wrote another (she was childhood friends with Truman Capote, and most believe John Megna's character in the movie is based on Capote, and some believe that Capote helped Lee write the novel). But in 2014, it was discovered that Lee had written an earlier novel, called "Go Set a Watchman", before "To Kill a Mockingbird", but it was never published until 2015, and was published exactly as it was written, in 2015 (Lee was 88 years old at the time of publishing, and did not publicize the "new" book)!

Important Added Info: 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 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!
