Important Added Info: Note that this English pressbook, which we have never before auctioned, and which is a "country of origin" pressbook for this English movie, does not have pictures of the posters. Its last interior page says "AD SALES AND ACCESSORIES", and at the bottom it mentions in text that there are eight 8x10 stills available and also the following posters: special quad crown posters in four colours. We don't know why this pressbook does not have posters shown, but we would think it is surely the only pressbook created for this movie. Also note that this English 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. The cover is separated in the bottom half of the spine, and there is rust on the staples.
