Cool Item Of the Week: Bombshell pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 12/05/2011 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! This week, I have the pressbook from Bombshell (also released as "Blonde Bombshell", because the studio was worried that people would think it was a war movie!), the 1933 Victor Fleming movie-making family relationship romantic screwball comedy (about a movie actress who has an awful family who all sponge on her, and her complicated love life) starring Jean Harlow, Lee Tracy, Frank Morgan (best remembered for playing the title role in "The Wizard of Oz"), Franchot Tone, Pat O'Brien, Una Merkel, C. Aubrey Smith, Clark Gable, and Ted Healy (best remembered as the founder of "The Three Stooges"; they were billed as "Ted Healy and His Stooges"). Note that it is said that this movie was based on the life of Clara Bow! Here is an image of the front cover and back poster
page: 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!).
