(Learn More) Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business, the 1954 Walter Lang stage acting family relationship romantic musical ("With Love and Kisses from 20th Century-Fox... Straight from the shoulder, right from the heart comes Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business"; "The Musicavalcade and the Personal Story of the Greatest Business On Earth"; "Rising like a song of songs from show business' heart of hearts!"; "From a story by Lamar Trotti - Lyrics and Music by Irving Berlin"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Ethel Merman, Donald O'Connor, Marilyn Monroe (in a small, but important role), Dan Dailey, Johnnie Ray, and Mitzi Gaynor. Note that 20th Century-Fox cast singer Johnnie Ray as one of the family members, thinking the likeable singer would move on to many more roles in their musicals, but unfortunately, he was a gay homosexual male at a time when that was not tolerated in Hollywood, and that surely greatly hurt his career.

Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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 received 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 to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. Learn More about condition grades
