Auction History Result U792 TRY & GET ME movie pressbook R51 very young Lloyd Bridges! Date Sold 5/18/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1951 Re-Release (re-titled "Try and Get Me" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (measures 11" x 17"; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Sound of Fury, the 1950 Cy Endfield (billed as "Cyril Endfield") romantic crime film noir ("You must see it... Hear it... Feel it...'Shock Entertainment!'"; "An emotional explosion to blast you out of your seat!"; "Adapted for the screen by Jo Pagano from his novel, 'The Condemned'") starring Frank Lovejoy (billed together with Lloyd Bridges as "Reuniting those two wonderful guys, Mingo and Finch, from 'HOME OF THE BRAVE.'"), Kathleen Ryan, Richard Carlson, Lloyd Bridges (very young in this role!), Katherine Locke, Adele Jergens, Art Smith, Irene Vernon, and Renzo Cesana. Note that this movie premiered in December of 1950 as "The Sound of Fury", and Lloyd Bridges was fourth billed. At some point in 1951, the movie was re-titled "Try and Get Me!", and Lloyd Bridges was prominently pictured on all the posters. One possibility is that the producers simply decided this was a more effective title and ad campaign, and another possibility is that Bridges was now more prominent (he had starred in one of the first sci-fi movies, "Rocketship X-M", in 1950, and maybe that accounts for his increased prominence). We also don't know if the movie was reedited at all. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good. This pressbook is in lesser condition, but it is complete and UNCUT. It has significant defects, such as tears, stains, smudges, and small areas of paper loss around the edges. However, it is important to note that it is complete and UNCUT, which is unusual, since the purpose of pressbooks was for theaters to cut out one or more of the ads and use them in their local newspapers. It has also never been folded, which is also unusual, as almost all larger pressbooks were folded in half so that they could be more easily transported. But please do not bid on this pressbook unless you can accept the clear defects that it has (if you look at the images we provide, you should get a good sense of what defects this pressbook has).
