(Learn More) The Hooked Generation, the 1968 William Grefe drug smuggling crime FBI Coast Guard Caribbean sexploitation melodrama ("Their bag - supplying 'the Hooked Generation'!"; "DAISEY ... the leader-killing was easy for him!"; "KELLY ... the hostage -- toy for the gang!"; "DUM-DUM ... tough punk -- easily led!"; "ACID ... the addict -- brutal, depraved, sadistic"; "MARK ... hero--- easy going, hell when cornered!") starring Jeremy Slate, Steve Alaimo, John Davis Chandler, Willie Pastrano, Cece Stone, and Milton Smith. Note that this B-movie was helped by the casting of two celebrity friends of co-star Steve Alaimo, who were former world light-heavyweight boxing champion Willie Pastrano and the legendary radio D.J. Milton "Butterball" Smith! Note that this was a pretty straightforward B-movie about drug smugglers in the Caribbean trying to evade both the FBI and the Coast Guard. But when it was released in the U.S., the distributor gave it an entirely new slant by using an image of a naked girl, implying that it was a teen drug movie. Meanwhile, the movie was released four years later in Italy, and there the distributor tried to make it seem like a spaghetti western, which it in no way was! 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 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: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
