Auction History Result #A620 OKLAHOMA KID pressbook R56 Cagney, Bogart Date Sold 3/9/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1956) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures 11" x 17"; 4 pages) (Learn More) The Oklahoma Kid, the 1939 Lloyd Bacon cowboy western ("From an original story by Edward E. Paramore & Wally Klein"; about two Oklahoma families, one of whom wants to bring law and order to the territory, and the other who is an outlaw gang and wants to keep law and order far away) starring James Cagney (in the title role as Jim Kincaid), Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane, Donald Crisp, Harvey Stephens, Al J. Jennings, and Ward Bond. Note that James Cagney was a major Warner Bros. star at this time, but Bogart was not considered to be, in spite of his success in "The Petrified Forest" two years earlier. So Cagney got to play the "good guy", and Bogart played the "bad guy" (dressed all in black!), and Bogart was not pictured on the original release posters. When the movie was re-released in 1943 (this date is confirmed by the IMDb and handwriting that we saw on the back of a re-release poster), Bogart WAS pictured on the advertising, because he too was now a big star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. This pressbook is in lesser condition. It has significant defects, such as tears, stains, smudges, and small areas of paper loss around the edges. However, important to note that it is complete and UNCUT, which is unusual, since the purpose of pressbooks was for theaters to cut out one or more of the ads and use them in their local newspapers. It has been folded in half horizontally, which is typical of almost all larger pressbooks. Oversized pressbooks were usually folded in half so that they could be more easily transported. Please do not bid on this pressbook unless you can accept the clear defects that it has (if you look at the images we provide, you should get a good sense of what defects this pressbook has).
