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 Baby Doll, the 1957 Elia Kazan romantic love triangle melodrama ("Elia Kazan's production of Tennessee Williams' boldest story!"; "She's nineteen. She makes her husband keep away -- she won't let the stranger go."; about two adult men obsessed with a teenage girl, based on the Tennessee Williams' play, with "Story and Screen Play by Tennessee Williams") starring Karl Malden, Carroll Baker (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role; "Her name is CARROLL BAKER! Her role is raw electricity! Her portrayal is a sensation!"), Eli Wallach, Mildred Dunnock (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), and Lonny Chapman

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

   

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!).
