(Learn More) It Happened One Night, the classic 1934 Frank Capra (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) runaway-heiress-with-undercover-reporter-who-are-complete-opposites-but-fall-in-love-anyway romantic screwball comedy ("Together for the first time!"; "From the Cosmopolitan Magazine story by Samuel Hopkins Adams"; "Screenplay by Robert Riskin"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Claudette Colbert (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Alan Hale Sr., Ward Bond, and Jameson Thomas. Note that this is a wonderful movie that contains many memorable scenes (perhaps most notably when Gable "instructs" Colbert on how to hitchhike), but it is also memorable for the scene where Gable reveals that he was not wearing an undershirt, which caused undershirt sales to plunge nationwide, and they never recovered! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. 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)! Condition: poor to fair, WITH CUTS. There are two interior pages that have a newspaper ad cut out. But much more important is that the pressbook has water staining scattered throughout, which has severely deteriorated the paper in some places. There is paper loss in the top left corner of the cover, and there are tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of many pages and the pressbook was folded across the middle, and there are many creases, scuffs, and some small tears in those areas of all the pages, and many other defects as well. Obviously, one would much prefer to find a nice example, or even a slightly better example of this pressbook, but we have never auctioned one before, and we imagine it might be many years before one would get a chance to purchase a better condition one! But still, bear in mind that this pressbook is in MUCH lesser condition before placing a bid on it (and look at our super-sized images). Learn More about condition grades
