(Learn More) Adventures of Don Juan (also released as "The New Adventures of Don Juan"), the 1949 Vincent Sherman swashbuckler romantic adventure thriller ("He made history when he made love!"; "Warner Bros. unfolds a new screen era in breathless adventure!"; "Warner Bros. open a new screen era in splendor!"; note that IMDB lists William Faulkner as an uncredited writer for this movie) starring Errol Flynn (in the title role as Don Juan), Viveca Lindfors (as Queen Margaret), Robert Douglas, Alan Hale Sr., Romney Brent, Ann Rutherford, Raymond Burr (early in his career, and 16th billed!), and Jerry Austin (a "little person" who had a tiny role in "Freaks" in 1932, and then made four small movie appearances in the late 1940s). Note that Raymond Burr had appeared in movies a couple of years before this, but always had minor roles, usually playing the "heavy". It would be many years before he would get leading roles (remember him as the killer in "Rear Window"?), but his big break did not come until 1957 when he became TV's "Perry Mason"!

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 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! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
