(Learn More) Thank Your Lucky Stars, the 1943 David Butler World War II (WWII) patriotic all-star musical comedy (with cameo appearances by a dozen Warner stars!; "From an Original Story by Everett Freeman and Arthur Schwartz") starring Humphrey Bogart, Eddie Cantor, Bette Davis, Olivia De Havilland, Errol Flynn (as himself), John Garfield, Joan Leslie, Ida Lupino, Dennis Morgan, Ann Sheridan, Dinah Shore, Alexis Smith, George Tobias, Jack Carson, Alan Hale Sr., Edward Everett Horton, S.Z. Sakall, Hattie McDaniel, Noble Johnson, Spike Jones and His City Slickers, and Willie Best. Note that this all-star musical included an all-black number called "Ice Cold Katy", and many prominent black actors of the time appeared in it! 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 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. This very large pressbook is complete and uncut and it is folded across the middle. It has scuffing and faint staining across that fold on the cover, and some wear around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
