NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is completely uncut! It is very unusual to find uncut pressbooks, as they were intended to be cut up by theater owners! 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. This pressbook comes with a rare supplement that is complete and uncut!
