Auction History Result 7x791 ROSIE THE RIVETER pressbook '44 Jane Frazee as World War II female icon Rosie! Date Sold 5/11/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Rosie the Riveter, the 1944 Joseph Santley World War II (WWII) Home Front women-working-while-their-husbands-were-at-war musical comedy ("Based on the Saturday Evening Post Story 'Room For Two' by Dorothy Curnow Handley") starring Jane Frazee (in the title role as Rosie), Frank Albertson, Barbara Jo Allen (billed as "Vera Vague"), Frank Jenks, Lloyd Corrigan, Maude Eburne, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, and Arthur Loft. If you don't know what this is about, during World War II, many women on the Home Front were taking jobs that traditionally had been men's, including working in factories (because almost all the able bodied men were in the service). Women even did jobs like riveting, but we highly doubt they did them while dressed like the woman on the first release one-sheet for this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook has slightly darkened. There are many smudges and tiny bits of surface paper loss on the front cover. Learn More about condition grades
