Thomas B. Costain's The Silver Chalice, the 1955 Victor Saville romantic melodrama ("'I bid you seek the lost Silver Cup~ for sin is rising like the swollen rivers...'"; "Warner Bros. present The Mightiest Story of Good and Evil Ever Told, Ever Lived, Ever Made Into a Motion Picture!"; "On the screen! The record-setting best-seller that has sold over three million copies to date!"; "The mightiest story of truth and temptation ever produced!"; "...for this was the time of Temptation, and this was the day of Sin"; "From Warner Bros. comes one of the greatest best-sellers of modern times! Read by over 25 million people to date!"; "Helena the Seductress who embarked on a wanton life of abandon!"; "Deborra the Innocent whose virtue tempted the tyrant legions!"; "Simon the Magician who brought the world to the brink of chaos!"; "Basil the Defender the slave who became the Champion of the Sacred Cup!"; "from the novel by Thomas B. Costain, a story of the cup of The Last Supper") starring Virginia Mayo, Pier Angeli, Jack Palance, Paul Newman (billed as "Introducing Paul Newman"; in his very first movie!), Lorne Greene, Jacques Aubuchon (as Nero), Walter Hampden, Michael Pate, and Natalie Wood. Note that Newman has regularly made great fun of this movie, often calling it the worst movie made in the 1950s, and when it ran on television, he placed ads in newspapers urging people not to watch it.

Important Added Info: 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)! 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded down the middle.
