An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12 1/4" x 15" [31 x 38 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More)

True Grit, the classic 1969 Henry Hathaway Texas cowboy western ("The strangest trio ever to track a killer. A fearless, one-eyed U.S. marshal who never knew a dry day in his life... A Texas ranger thirsty for bounty money... And a girl still wet behind the ears who didn't care what they were or who they were as long as they had true grit."; "A Brand New Brand of American Frontier Story."; "From the novel by Charles Portis") starring John Wayne (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as U.S. Marshal Reuben J. 'Rooster' Cogburn), Glen Campbell (as La Boeuf, the Texas Ranger), Kim Darby (as Mattie Ross), Jeremy Slate, Robert Duvall, Strother Martin, and Dennis Hopper. Note that this was the movie for which John Wayne won a Best Actor Oscar (over both Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight in Midnight Cowboy), and many people are of the opinion that the award was a gift to Wayne (a sort of "lifetime achievement award"), but actually, he was really magnificent in the part (although personally, I think Dustin Hoffman DID deserve the Oscar!). When this movie was first submitted for a rating, it was rating "M", and posters were printed with that rating. The producers of the movie decided it would be worth it to them to have the movie have a "G" rating, so that everyone would see it, and they did some small editing and it was resubmitted and rated "G". There are posters with both ratings, and both are from the first release of the movie, but we always note which rating items have, for those who want one or the other.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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, NO CUTS.
