Auction History Result #A913 WINNING pressbook '69 Newman, car racing! Date Sold 3/9/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures approximately 9" x 14"; 14 pages). Also included is an ad supplement that has 8 pages and another with 3 pages (Learn More) Winning, the 1969 James Goldstone automobile Indy car racing sports action thriller ("Winning... is Everything!"; "Their love, like their world is ruthless, amoral and fascinating!"; about a race car driver who is so enveloped in his career that he might lose his wife to his rival) starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Robert Wagner, Richard Thomas, David Sheiner, Clu Gulager, Barry Ford, Bobby Unser, Tony Hulman, Dan Gurney, and Karen Arthur. Note that this movie was originally intended to be released with a "G" rating. But it had some pretty mature sex scenes, so it was revised to an "M" rating. But the posters had already been printed with a "G" rating, so the studio put snipes over the ones that had not been sent to theaters, and sent studio-issued snipes to the theaters that had already received the posters. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. Condition: fine. This pressbook is in excellent condition! 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 also never been folded, which is also unusual, as almost all larger pressbooks were folded in half so that they could be more easily transported. I can't imagine a collector who would not be very happy owning this pressbook! Learn More about condition grades
