Important Added Info: Note that these two classic movies were shown on double-bills at many theaters in 1956, and this pressbook, with images from both movies, was sent to theaters. But naturally, King Kong was the "main attraction", so the cover of the pressbook solely advertises that! 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 to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There is wear along that fold, with some creases and a few faint stains scattered on the cover. Learn More about condition grades
