(Learn More) Easy Living, the 1937 Mitchell Leisen romantic mistaken identity screwball comedy ("Based on a story by Vera Caspary"; "Screen Play by Preston Sturges"; about a Wall Street investment banker whose wife buys a fur coat for $50,000, and he is so mad that he throws it out the window of his townhouse, and it lands on a pretty young clerk's head, and when she tries to return it, the banker tells her to keep it, and many humorous complications follow!) starring Jean Arthur, Edward Arnold, Ray Milland, Luis Alberni, and Mary Nash. Note that this was one of the movies Preston Sturges wrote a screenplay for before he was allowed to direct his own movies, and it is very much a Preston Sturges movie, but it does not have the actors he used repeatedly in the movies he directed. 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 English 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook appears to have been bound into an album at one time, and it was removed, and there are now tiny bits of paper residue in the lower half of the spine, but the pressbook is otherwise in nice condition!
