An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18" [30 x 46 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) The Private Life of Henry the Eighth, the 1933 Alexander Korda English royalty historical romantic melodrama ("Every woman got it in the neck - eventually"; "He gave his wives a pain in the neck"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; very loosely based on historical events) starring Charles Laughton (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as King Henry VIII), Robert Donat, Merle Oberon (as Anne Boleyn, in her first important role!), Binnie Barnes (as Katherine Howard), Elsa Lanchester (as Anne of Cleves), Franklin Dyall, Miles Mander, Wendy Barrie (as Jane Seymour), Everley Gregg (as Katherine Parr), and John Loder. Note that Elsa Lanchester was married to Charles Laughton four years before this movie was made (and remained married to him until his death in 1962), and her scenes with Laughton in this movie are particularly delightful!

Also note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 47 mostly United Artists pressbooks (mostly from the 1930s) that came from the collection of a very longtime collector who recently passed away. Pressbooks like these are almost all incredibly rare and almost never change hands. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or more of these extremely rare pressbooks, all of which are uncut, and several of them have rare supplements or heralds (and if they do, that is noted above). Note that at this time, United Artists prepared unusual pressbooks that were different from those of the other studios. There were three types of them. In the 1920s, there were two types. One type measured 13 1/2" x 22", and it was folded in half and had a separate printed brown envelope, with a return address from United Artists, and an image from the movie, and they were sent to theaters that way. A second type measured around 9 3/4" x 12 3/4", and had a mailing area that was on the pressbook. In the 1930s, they standardized it to 12" x 18" pressbooks that were folded in half and had a cover on one side, and the other side had posters on half of that side, and the other half was a mailing address area where the pressbook could be sent directly to theaters without an envelope. This pressbook is that third type. Condition: very good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. Learn More about condition grades
