An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 14" x 20" [36 x 51 cm]; 24 pages) (Learn More) Great Guy (released in England as "Pluck of the Irish"), the 1936 John G. Blystone crime thriller ("It's tops in Cagney entertainment"; "James Cagney at his best!"; "From the Johnny Cave Stories in the Saturday Evening Post by James Edward Grant"; about the "New York Department of Weights and Measures", which was in charge of making sure the public didn't get cheated on the weight of goods; Cagney is the brash new head of it, who gets the job after the old head is hospitalized for not "playing ball"; Cagney takes on everyone: the crooks who cheat the public, and the crooked politicians who take bribes to let them do it!) starring James Cagney, Mae Clarke, James Burke, Edward Brophy, and Henry Kolker. Of course, this movie reunited James Cagney with Mae Clarke, the actress that had hit in the face with a grapefruit in Public Enemy! Perhaps this was his way of apologizing to her, by co-starring with her! 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 is complete and uncut. There is paper loss in the bottom right corner of all pages including the corners, but it is very fortunate that only blank paper is affected on all but two interior pages, where a tiny amount of the words are affected (see our image). There is some tiny paper loss in the top of most pages and some darkening down the edge of the spine on the cover. Other than the above, the pressbook is in pretty good condition, and you can see all of the super rare posters and other advertising material! Learn More about condition grades
