Fanny Hurst's Symphony of Six Million, the 1932 Gregory La Cava New York City Jewish medical doctor hospital melodrama ("As big as life... As powerful as love!"; "'Humoresque' of the Talkies"; "DRAMA rooted deep in the hopes.. Fears.. Loves and ambitions of humanity.. Written by the golden pen of Fannie Hurst whose immortal 'Humoresque' it surpasses!"; "Fannie Hurst's gifted genius pens the immortal rhapsody of the talkies, finer than her 'humoresque'!"; "The greatest test love ever faced... in the genius of a surgeon's hands lay the life of the woman he loved!"; "Man's miracle city tells it's story!"; "It's loves.. fears.. heartbreak and glamour.. struck from stone and steel.. given life in the pulsing heart of six millions!"; based on the story by Fanny Hurst; produced by David O. Selznick; about a young Jewish man in New York City who comes from a poor immigrant family, and he goes to medical school and starts a clinic for poor immigrants, but then his brother convinces him to become a fancy Park Avenue doctor, and he does so, and acquires a beautiful non-Jewish girlfriend, which alienates his family, but then a family crisis causes him to become a broken man!) starring Irene Dunne, Ricardo Cortez, Anna Appel, Gregory Ratoff, and Noel Madison. Note that Irene Dunne was a bigger star than Ricardo Cortez, so she was billed over him on the poster, but Cortez was the main focus of the movie. Since he himself was Jewish (although he had been passed off by Paramount as Hispanic, so that he could be another Valentino!), this movie no doubt hit very close to home with him!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook!

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!
