An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 32 pages) (Learn More) Noel Coward's Design for Living, the 1933 Ernst Lubitsch pre-Code romantic love triangle comedy (adapted from the play by Noel Coward, with a script by Ben Hecht; about two men in love with a free-spirited young woman, who also has a very rich suitor, and the movie clearly implies that the three stars are involved in a menage a trois; there was an unspoken homosexual tension between the two male stars in the original play that was naturally left out when it was filmed!) starring Fredric March, Gary Cooper, Miriam Hopkins, Edward Everett Horton, Isabel Jewell, Jane Darwell, and Franklin Pangborn NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and only one of those examples was complete (it sold for $439)! Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received 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! Note that for the past 18 months, we have auctioned one of the most extraordinary collections of pressbooks ever assembled! What made it so extraordinary is that it contained lots and lots of extremely rare pressbooks, mostly from the 1930s and 1940s, including many that we had never auctioned before. In our last few regular auctions, we auctioned most of the last of this gigantic collection, and now, in this April Major Auction, we are auctioning the very last of them, and one quick look tells you that "we saved many of the very best for last"! This is your FINAL opportunity to buy from this extraordinary collection! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. The covers are separated at the spine. There are many horizontal scuffs and smudges across the middle of the cover. Learn More about condition grades
