(Learn More) Alias a Gentleman, the 1948 Harry Beaumont romantic crime comedy ("Wally's new picture is a WOW!"; about a reformed criminal whose former partner tricks into losing all his money by hiring a girl to pose as his long lost daughter) starring Wallace Beery, Tom Drake, Dorothy Patrick, Gladys George, and Leon Ames. Note that this movie was almost completely faithfully re-made in 2003 as "Matchstick Men", directed by Ridley Scott and starring Nicolas Cage, and yet, at the time, no one mentioned how much that movie owed to this 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)! 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 covers are separated at the spine and there are some small tears and creases around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
