An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17"; 8 pages) (Learn More) Philo Vance's Gamble, the 1947 Basil Wrangell detective mystery crime film noir ("Philo Vance plays for his highest stakes!"; "The screen's ace sleuth is tied to kisses... And murder!"; "He's up against his most beautiful clue!"; "Original Story by Lawrence Edmund Taylor") starring Alan Curtis (in the title role as Philo Vance), Vivian Austin (billed as "Terry Austin"), Frank Jenks, Tala Birell, Gavin Gordon, and Cliff Clark. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

Because of this, this pressbook can be sent in one of our standard size packages (if it is purchased together with pressbooks that can NOT be folded, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our oversized packages). But if this pressbook is purchased by itself (or solely with other pressbooks that can be folded), then the shipping will be much lower, because it fits in a standard package. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. There is separation along the spine as well as some tattering around the edges of the pressbook. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (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!
