Important Added Info: Note that the original folder for this presskit is not present. The contents of the presskit were stored in a file folder, and we pictured that, and the items will be sent in that file folder. While the presskit folder is not present, what is present is REALLY cool, because it includes items we have never seen before. There are 22 supplements, 9 8x10 stills, a 4-page screening program, plus several items that are brand new to us! This presskit was sent to a film reviewer, Pete Klem, of the Denver Straight Creek Journal, and in addition to the above items, United Artists also included a 7" x 9 1/2" manila envelope addressed to Mr. Klem, with three sheets inside about the special showing of Rocky that included appearances by Talia Shire and Sylvester Stallone. Also in the envelope were ten 5" x 7 1/4" candid photos of Stallone and Shire, both completely out of character, and we have never auctioned ANY of these photos before. Also included is a 4-page 7 1/2" x 10" promo brochure, which has "ROCKY will open selectively in December in order to qualify for the Academy Awards", with a New York Times review reproduced on the inside. Also included is a 4-page 8" x 10" promo brochure, which has "The Good Word Continues... ROCKY" on the cover, and a reproduced New York Times article about Talia Shire on the inside. Finally, there is an 8 1/2" x 11" folder that has "ROCKY THE WINNER" on the front and six pages of reproduced reviews from top newspapers and magazines. Obviously, all these items were only sent to newspaper and magazine reviewers, and the winner of this auction will acquire many incredibly rare items! Condition: very good.
