Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is from when this movie went to smaller theaters in 1941, and this new campaign was created with the tagline "nothing cut but the price" (see below for a full explanation of this). This pressbook measures 18 1/4" x 24", and has 21 single-sided pages that are stapled together at the top. We have pictured the cover and four of the interior pages. Note that it does include a poster page (which we have pictured), and also some cool information about the making of the movie and "the search for Scarlet", plus some updated articles about the impact Gone with the Wind had on movies in the almost two years since its first release ("Gone with the Wind marks new era in film-making"). Note that "Gone With The Wind" premiered in Atlanta and a limited number of cities in December of 1939. In 1940, it was widely released, and posters were printed that said, "Exactly as originally presented, nothing cut, full-length", to let people know they were still seeing the full movie. In December of 1941, the movie finally made it to neighborhood theaters, and new posters were again printed, this time with the tagline, "Nothing cut but the price", to let people know the movie was still complete, even though they were paying a bargain price. Therefore, the movie was never out of release through the end of 1941. Some people might call the 1940 and 1941 posters re-releases, but that seems wrong to me, because the movie was never out of release during that time, so how could it be "re-released"? In any event, please do not bid on this pressbook unless you realize it is not a 1939 pressbook, but rather the pressbook for the 1941 "nothing cut but the price" release. Condition: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut, and it was folded across the middle at one time. There is water staining, tears, and tiny paper loss in the bottom of all pages. One of the interior pages has a 4" tear at the bottom. There is a lesser amount of water staining down the left and right edges of the pages and some slight water staining across the center of the cover (see our images).
