Auction History Result c026 BY APPOINTMENT ONLY movie pressbook '33 Aileen Pringle Date Sold 4/10/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures 12 1/4" x 18 1/4"; 8 pages) (Learn More) By Appointment Only, the 1933 Frank R. Strayer medical doctor inappropriate relationship romantic melodrama ("He gave rich women sugar coated pills of sugar-water, patted their hands and solved their marital problems... he was a graduate doctor but his records read more like advice to the lovelorn columns."; a really odd story of a doctor who caters to wealthy hypochondriacs, but then a "normal" woman dies in his office, and he takes charge of her 14 year old daughter, and tries to be like a "kind uncle" to her, but he soon realizes his feelings go far beyond that, and he has trouble coping!) starring Lew Cody, Aileen Pringle, Sally O'Neil, Marceline Day, and Edward Morgan. Note that this movie has quite a bit in common with The Major and The Minor, where Ginger Rogers played a pretend teenager who an adult male has an unnatural attraction to, but this movie takes it a big step further where the girl actually IS supposed to be 14 years old, although she is played by Sally O'Neil, who was 25 at the time! It is not in "Lolita" territory, but the relationship between the doctor and the girl is definitely very inappropriate. The surviving prints of the movie apparently were cut significantly, so probably some salacious material was removed, and we don't think a complete print survives. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (plus any supplements or heralds described above)!
