(Learn More) Chained for Life (also released as "Siamese Twins"), the 1951 Harry L. Fraser Siamese twins (conjoined twins) murder crime thriller ("The 7th wonder of the world!"; "The Siamese Twins the loves and lives of the Hilton Sisters in 'Chained For Life'"; "Daisy and Violet...The only Female Siamese Twins ever born...and only the 3rd set of twins in over 3000 years."; "Both girls had separate husbands!"; "What happens in their intimate moments?"; "Can a Siamese Twin have a shy husband?"; "Is it legal to marry a Siamese Twin?:' See why 21 states refused them a marriage license?"; "Joined together how can they make love to separate husbands?"; "Why is Daisy's love different from Violet's?"; "Can they have a normal love-life?"; "Must their husbands lead a double life?"; "Strangest love story ever told"; about a court that must decide what will happen to one sister if the other is convicted of murdering her cheating husband) starring Violet Hilton, Daisy Hilton (in the title role; billed together as "The Hilton Sisters"; best known for their role in "Freaks"!), Mario Laval, Allen Jenkins, and Patricia Wright. Certainly, this is one of the most "politically incorrect" movies of all time, and its sleazy ad campaign really needs to be read to be believed! Finally, note that this movie was first released by tiny "Classic Pictures", and despite its name, it was the first releasing company for this "classic" movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Because this pressbook is folded, it will be sent in a standard flat package for our flat rate shipping cost. Condition: good, WITH CUTS. The pressbook was folded across the middle at one time. There is staining in the top right corner of all pages and some faint smudges and scuffs throughout the covers. A small ad was cut from the supplement. Learn More about condition grades
