(Learn More) Seymour Nebenzal's Siren of Atlantis (also released simply as "Atlantis", and also as "Seymour Nebenzal's Atlantis, The Lost Continent"), the 1947 Arthur Ripley, Gregg C. Tallas & John Brahm romantic triangle fantasy adventure thriller ("Such Exciting Adventures... Such Exotic Women... -could only happen in fabulous Atlantis - the Lost Continent!"; "Strange! Stirring! Spectacular!"; "...Friends for life... Now enemies to the death!"; "...Chamber of horrors... Where 54 men met their fate!"; "...100 dancing houris [sic] to satisfy a queen's desire!"; "...frenzied men give their lives for her love!"; "'Come with me... to Atlantis where each man finds his Paradise on earth... land of love... land of terror!'"; "Come with me... and find your Paradise on earth!"; "Based on the novel 'Atlantida' by Pierre Benoit") starring Maria Montez, Jean-Pierre Aumont (Montez and Aumont were married at the time), Dennis O'Keefe, Henry Daniell, Morris Carnovsky, and Alex Minotis. Note that this movie is NOT based on the classic myth of a lost underwater city, but instead concerns a lost city in the Sahara Desert, but apparently there were budgetary issues with this movie, because the "lost continent" only consisted of a few buildings! Also note that the IMDb notes this movie as being from 1949, when it was actually made in 1947 (it had three different directors, and apparently had many problems during production, which apparently caused it to be released two years after it was made, even though the posters are clearly dated 1947, indicating it was ready to be released during that year).

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. The covers are separated at the spine.
