An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) High Yellow, the 1965 Larry Buchanan interracial black African American racism sexploitation movie melodrama ("Two Men - one white, one black!"; "A female half breed who is too white to be black... too black to be white!"; "She didn't cross the color line, she walked right down the middle"; "Rx: A prescription for something you'll never believe!"; a wacky story of an interracial teenager who goes to work for a Hollywood producer and tries to pass herself of as "white") starring Cynthia Hull, Warren Hammack, Bill McGhee (billed as "Bill McGee"), Kay Taylor, Bill Thurman, Annabelle Weenick (billed as "Anne MacAdams"), and Bob Brown. Note that this movie sounds really interesting (although obviously completely dated). Note that the phrase "high yellow" was used to describe light-skinned black people who could possibly "pass for white", or who appear to have "white blood". Fortunately, we will never hear this phrase used again! Also note that we have seen two entirely different one-sheet posters for this movie, and none have the look of having come from the major release. We wonder if this movie was not shown in small towns for a period of years. If anyone knows more about which poster is from the very first release, and if the others are re-releases, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (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! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It is folded across the middle and twice vertically, but otherwise, it is in pretty nice condition (see our images).
