An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 16 pages) (Learn More)

Top Banana, the 1954 Alfred E. Green musical comedy ("For the first time in movie history...-a big hit musical comedy filmed exactly as it appeared on the New York stage!!"; "SEE IT At movie prices the way New York audiences saw it for $7.70"; "Laffs"; "Loud Fast Funny"; "Comedy Click"; "Funny roughhouse"; "Roughhouse"; "Zany"; "Completely Hilarious Hysterical"; "Completely Hilarious!"; "Biggest bargain on the screen"; "See it! Exactly as it was shown on the N.Y. stage"; "Based upon Broadway hit as presented by Paula Stone and Mike Sloane") starring Phil Silvers, Rose Marie, Danny Scholl, Judy Lynn, Jack Albertson, Gloria Smith, and "Entire New York Cast". Note that Phil Silvers had a giant hit with this show when he played the lead on Broadway in 1952, and when he recreated the role in this 1954 movie version, he had similar success, which led to his greatest role, as Sgt. Bilko in the TV show that started in 1955, "You'll Never Get Rich" (later known as "The Phil Silvers Show").

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!

Note that this pressbook is complete and uncut (as noted above).

Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS.
