(Learn More) You and Me, the 1938 Fritz Lang romantic crime comedy ("The romance of two young ex-convicts!"; "Based on a Story by Norman Krasna"; about two young ex-convicts who meet and fall in love and get married; the woman knows that the man was also a convict, but he does not know that about her; both get jobs at a department store owned by kindly Harry Carey Sr., and they need to keep their marriage secret as well as their criminal past, but then some of the man's old cronies show up and want him to rob the department store, and it is up to his wife to stop them from ruining their life) starring Sylvia Sidney, George Raft, Barton MacLane, Harry Carey Sr., Roscoe Karns, and Robert Cummings. Note that this was Fritz Lang's third U.S. movie after making the ultra depressing "Fury" and "You Only Live Twice", and he tried to change the tone of his movies by making this somewhat of a comedy, but it doesn't really succeed on that level, but it is a very interesting movie about people caught up in situations they can't control. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. 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 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was once in a bound volume and now has cloth tape down the spine. Learn More about condition grades
