An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 15" [30 x 38 cm]; 32 pages) (Learn More) The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, the classic 1944 Preston Sturges romantic pregnancy screwball comedy ("Here's the Funniest Picture Ever Made!"; "Famous comics say... The funniest picture ever!"; "The True Story of Trudy Kockenlocker who kissed the Boys Goodbye... Regiment By Regiment"; "Bob Hope says... 'The best film I ever tasted- I ate it up!'"; "In Paramount's Miracle of Mirth!") starring Eddie Bracken ("The miracle man who rocked the world - with laughter!"), Betty Hutton, Diana Lynn, William Demarest, Porter Hall, Brian Donlevy (billed as "McGinty", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), Akim Tamiroff (billed as "The Boss", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), and Frank Moran. I don't recall EVER seeing an actor billed in a movie where his name is left off of the poster entirely! I suppose Sturges thought this was very funny, and likely Donlevy and Tamiroff agreed to do it because he asked them! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that was 8 years ago! Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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. The covers are separated at the spine. Learn More about condition grades
