A greater picture!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway; about an American ambulance driver and an English nurse falling in love in France during World War I) starring Helen Hayes, Gary Cooper, Adolphe Menjou, Jack La Rue, and Mary Philips. Note that in 1951, Warner Bros. updated the story to World War II, and did not pay for the rights, so the movie was called "A Force of Arms". In 1957, it was remade under the original title with Rock Hudson and Jennifer Jones. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this Paramount pressbook (and two others) was removed from a bound volume. While all three of the pressbooks are uncut, they seem to all be missing pages, between 2 and 4 pages from each, but it might be more. Those pages might have been removed before they were added to the bound volume. Obviously, one would prefer to find a complete example of this pressbook, but Paramount pressbooks from this time are beyond rare, and one might wait for many years to find that better condition example! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Condition: fair, NO CUTS. As noted above, the pressbook was removed from a bound volume and we believe it is surely missing at least two pages, and possibly more. In addition, the pages are quite fragile around the edges. However, this pressbook does also contain a 4-page 7" x 9" herald, which itself is extremely rare (and it is in "good to very good" condition). Please do not bid on it unless you can accept the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
