An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 16"; 12 pages) (Learn More) 1984, the 1956 Michael Anderson English futuristic science fiction (sci-fi) dystopian future melodrama ("Sex Outlawed... In the terrifying world of tomorrow!"; "The Anti-Sex League is Watching You... Even in the intimacy of your own home!"; "Will ecstasy be a crime... In the terrifying world of the future? Amazing wonders of tomorrow! Nothing like it ever filmed! From the startling George Orwell novel!"; "Most horrifying glimpse into the future ever filmed! From the shocking George Orwell novel!"; "From the Book by George Orwell") starring Edmond O'Brien (as Winston Smith), Michael Redgrave (as O'Connor), Jan Sterling (as Julia), David Kossoff (as Charrington), Mervyn Johns (as Jones), Donald Pleasence (as Parsons), John Vernon (uncredited, as Big Brother), and Anthony Jacobs (uncredited, as the voice on the telescreen). Note that in 1949, when this prophetic novel was first written, and in 1956, when this first movie adaptation was made, it seemed the height of fantasy that people would have devices in their home where the public could see and hear everything they did. In today's world, that has come to be true, and most surprisingly, it is the public that have brought those devices into their home, in the form of their phones and computers! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook was folded across the center at one time. Because of this, this pressbook can be sent in one of our standard size packages (if it is purchased together with pressbooks that can NOT be folded, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our oversized packages). But if this pressbook is purchased by itself (or solely with other pressbooks that can be folded), then the shipping will be much lower, because it fits in a standard package. Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased 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!
