An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 16"; 12 pages) (Learn More) Reprisal!, the 1956 George Sherman Native American Indian lynching melodrama ("The night the town went hunting... WITH A ROPE!"; "'He couldn't have done it... ...he was with me last night - all night!'"; "You're in trouble mister... Right up to your neck!..."; "...you made one mistake - you wanted to live your own life, with your own woman, in a town where you had to join the pack - or else. And now the mob with the rope is coming for you!"; "A hanging tree at one end of town... and a wanton girl in jeopardy at the other..."; "Out of a best-seller... Startling screen drama!"; "A best-seller lashes new paths of fury across the screen!"; "From the Novel by Arthur Gordon"; a wild story of a "half-breed", half Native American and half white, man who "passes" for white because Native Americans couldn't own a ranch, but when local men find out about it, they lynch his white wife, and he sets out to get revenge by killing the men responsible) starring Guy Madison, Felicia Farr, Kathryn Grant, Michael Pate, Edward Platt, and Otto Hulett. Note that the original source novel (which was based on a real case in then modern day Georgia) involved a black man whose white wife was lynched and he sought revenge. Apparently, this was too controversial for Hollywood, and the story was shifted in time and place to Oklahoma in the Old West, and the lead character became a "half-breed" Native American!

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of an inside spread, 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! Note that this pressbook was folded across the center at one time. 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: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
