Also included is a herald that has 4 pages (Learn More) Crack in the World, the 1965 Andrew Marton science fiction (sci-fi) action thriller ("You'll thank God it's only a motion picture!"; "Science miscalculates... Underground Atom Bomb explodes earth's core... and the world totters on the brink of destruction!"; "Today's Terrifying Look Into What Might Happen Tomorrow"; "See... Daring magmanauts descend into boiling pits at center of the earth!"; See... Crack after thunderous crack as the earth bursts open... Ripping asunder..."; See... The blonde scientist... Trapped underground with her lover and her husband..."; "The day the Earth split in two!"; "Screenplay by Jon Manchip White and Julian Halevy") starring Dana Andrews, Janette Scott, Kieron Moore, Alexander Knox, and Peter Damon. Note that Janette Scott is best remembered for her starring role in "Day of the Triffids" in 1963, which was immortalized in the lyrics of the song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that says "And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." She divorced her first husband and married Mel Torme in 1966, which pretty much ended her career, as she quickly had two children. 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. Note that this pressbook is part of an amazing collection of 456 different horror/sci-fi pressbooks (our items #5387 through #5842)! The collector who assembled this collection did so over a span of several decades, and to duplicate it would surely take at least that long, if one started today. But on October 30th, every one of these pressbooks will go to a new owner, as all are being sold with NO reserve. Note that this collection spans the years from 1950 to 1972, and just about every single 1950s and 1960s horror/sci-fi movie is represented here. Also note that we have listed them in DATE order (first by year, and then alphabetically within years). This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire rare pressbooks that almost never are offered for sale! Condition: fine. Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Since pressbooks were INTENDED to be cut up (the theater owners would cut out the newspaper ads to run in their local papers). It is very difficult to find a pressbook that has NOT been cut, and that ads greatly to their value! very minor creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the pressbook (more so along the spine); herald is in very nice condition Learn More about condition grades
