As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you this week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

This week, I have the pressbook from The Emperor's Candlesticks, the 1937 George Fitzmaurice pre-World War I (WWI) romantic spy espionage thriller ("William Powell and Luise Rainer together again!"; "A smile on her lips... and his death warrant in her hands!"; "Based on the book by Baroness Emmuska Orczy"; about a pair of spies who work for opposing countries, and they fall in love) starring William Powell, Luise Rainer, Robert Young, Maureen O'Sullivan, Frank Morgan, Henry Stephenson, and Ian Wolfe. Note that the "together again!" tagline refers to the fact that Rainer and Powell had previously starred together in Escapade and The Great Ziegfeld.

Here are images of the front, back, and interior pages:

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
