An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook Supplement (pb; measures 13 1/2" x 19 1/4"; 8 pages) (Learn More) Crime and Punishment, the classic 1935 Josef von Sternberg psychological detective crime murder mystery melodrama ("Dostoievsky's [sic] immortal novel of human passions"; "The most powerful drama of modern times!"; "A superb drama of human emotions takes its place among the greatest!"; based on the classic novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky; about a brilliant but poor man who commits a murder, and he seems to get away with it, but there is a police inspector who suspects) starring Edward Arnold (as Inspector Porfiry), Peter Lorre (as Raskolnikov), Marian Marsh (as Sonya), Tala Birell, Robert Allen, Douglass Dumbrille, and Stella Campbell (billed as "Mrs. Patrick Campbell", as the creepy pawnbroker). Note that the name Stella Campbell might not be familiar to you, but in 1914, George Bernard Shaw wrote the play "Pygmalion" specifically with her in mind, and she played the lead in the first stage production, even though she was 49 at the time. She was a Hollywood legend for her wildly inappropriate remarks, often directed at famous and important people in public! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. There are some tears and areas of tattering throughout. Note that this pressbook supplement 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 supplement that IS complete and uncut!
