Auction History Result 2t0371 NOW, VOYAGER pressbook 1942 classic romantic tearjerker, Bette Davis, Paul Henreid, rare! Date Sold 8/30/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 24 pages) (Learn More) Now, Voyager, the classic 1942 Irving Rapper romantic adultery family relationship melodrama ("From the novel by Olive Higgins Prouty"; with an early very sympathetic treatment of psychiatry; an ugly duckling old maid with a domineering mother undergoes an "extreme makeover" and finds true love, and is able to help the suffering daughter of her lover, but the lovers are not allowed to remain together!) starring Bette Davis (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Charlotte Vale), Paul Henreid (as Jerry Durrance), Claude Rains (as Dr. Jaquith), Gladys Cooper (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Bonita Granville (as June Vale), Ilka Chase, Charles Drake, John Loder, and Janis Wilson (as Tina; she was unbilled in this movie even though she had a very major role as Henreid's daughter; she had another important role in "Watch on the Rhine", and then made a few more movies and retired completely, oddly marrying a man she first met on the set of this movie!). Note that this is the movie with the classic scene of Paul Henreid lighting two cigarettes at the same time and passing one to Davis! 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 in the last 18 years (and the last example had cuts, while this one is complete and uncut)! 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: 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. Learn More about condition grades
