(Learn More) Television Spy, the 1939 Edward Dmytryk science fiction (sci-fi) spy espionage crime thriller ("The thrills of science's newest miracle... packed into the year's most sensational action drama!"; "Paramount's new mile-a-minute, up-to-the-minute thrill-film!"; about a scientist who invents a television device called the Iconoscope, which spies find out about and want to steal it) starring William Henry, Judith Barrett, William Collier Sr., Anthony Quinn and Richard Denning. Note that the six-sheet for this movie has a tagline that refers to television as "science's newest miracle", but we doubt if 1939 scientists could ever have anticipated how much television would eventually become a part of everyday life!

Important Added Info: Note that the cover of this pressbook has a cool die-cut image that is a rectangle with rounded edges, so that it appears that the three lead characters are showing through to the front on a 1939 TV screen! Also 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. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, 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 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. The pressbook was once in a bound volume and there is tiny paper loss down the spine (the pages are held together by the stitching from the bound volume), but otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty good condition.
