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 each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

So below is the pressbook from Marchands de filles (released in the U.S. in 1967 as "Girl Merchants" and "Sellers of Girls"), the 1957 Maurice Cloche French crime exploitation melodrama ("Shanghaied into a life of sin...white slavery!"; "See how the narcotic ring works - a frank, daring expose!"; "THE SCOREBOARD in this house of shame, checks off the 'action' of every dame!:' TRAPPED behind the curtains of evil and degredation!") starring Georges Marchal (billed as "George Marshall"), Agnes Laurent, Daniela Rocca (billed as "Daniella Rocca"), Saro Urzi, Pascale Roberts, Robert Porte, and Jacques Dynam. Interestingly, the U.S. pressbook credits Maurice Clouche as the writer and Jean Maumy as the director, but the IMDb shows Maurice Clouche as both writer and director and Jean Maumy as the producer! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior page:

   

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
