(Learn More) The Boston Strangler, the 1968 Richard Fleischer Massachusetts serial killer murder mystery crime thriller ("Why did 13 women willingly open their doors to the Boston Strangler? This is a true and remarkable motion picture."; "'Come in.' He did. Thirteen times."; "The people and events depicted are based on fact!"; "Don't expect what you expected! This is not the story of just one man or just one city - but of everyone, everywhere. It is not so much concerned with the violent death of eleven women - as with the violence that threatens the lives of all of us. It is not a slick story where the good guys hunt and trap the bad guy. Because here, as in life, no one is completely bad - or completely good. It is not a tale where justice triumphs in the end. Because for Albert de Salvo, the self-confessed Boston Strangler, there can be no such thing as justice. It is not fiction. The people and events are all based on fact. It is not just a movie. It is a landmark in motion picture history. And, above all, it is not what you expect."; based on the real life rapist-killer, Albert DeSalvo, who terrorized Boston in the 1960s, "Based on the book by Gerold Frank") starring Tony Curtis (in the title role as the Boston Strangler, Albert DeSalvo), Henry Fonda, George Kennedy, Mike Kellin, Murray Hamilton, and Sally Kellerman NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. Also 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. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. 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)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased 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: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
