Important Added Info: What a wonderful find this first release French pressbook is! It has a die-cut cover that allows you to see the title on the first interior page, although there is a glassine sheet protecting both the first interior page and the last interior page, which has two poster images on it (see our image). There are also tipped in full-color scenes from the movie and some art on all the pages that we have never seen before. Finally, in addition to the program, is a 4-page supplement with a plot summary in English and a 2-page supplement in English that gives the captions for the pictures. We have never auctioned this pressbook before. Also note that, unlike later French pressbooks, this French pressbook is much like a U.S. pressbook and DOES include poster images. Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this partially French movie! 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. 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)! Finally, note that this French 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. Someone wrote the title of the movie in the top right of the blank red cover (see our image). Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
