'Ironpants' Goodwin, the toughest young General in the Army --and the girl who gave him a new wrinkle on love!"; "Congrats to them-- they're the stars who bring you the Warner picture that's a one-in-a-million happiness-maker just like the Warners' 'Mister Roberts'"; "Written by Ronald Kibbee and Allan Scott") starring Susan Hayward, Kirk Douglas ("This is the toughest General in the U.S. Army"), Paul Stewart, Jim Backus, John Cromwell, Roland Winters, and Arthur Gould-Porter. Note that this film was going to be titled "Melville Goodwin, USA", and star Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. However, Bogart's cancer prevented him from playing the role, and Bacall declined her part as well to be with Bogart.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, 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!

Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS.
