Auction History Result 1f511 MAN BAIT pressbook '52 best full-length image of bad girl Diana Dors in her underwear! Date Sold 4/3/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) The Last Page (released in the U.S. as "Man Bait"), the 1952 Terence Fisher English romantic crime bad girl film noir ("The Cards are Stacked... against any man who falls for her kind of Man Bait"; "Looking for a date?... Go easy! She's 'Man Bait'"; "Blonde Blackmail!"; "Look if you like... but Look Out! She's Man Bait"; "Screenplay by Frederick Knott from an original story by James Hadley Chase") starring George Brent, Marguerite Chapman, Diana Dors (billed as "introducing Diana Dors"), Raymond Huntley, and Peter Reynolds. Note that there are a couple of interesting oddities about this movie. One is that it was director Terence Fisher's very first movie (he would go on to become very famous for his Hammer horror movies). The other is that, for the American release, it says "introducing Diana Dors", but she had appeared in a dozen movies prior to this, so that was very misleading, to say the least. Finally, note that while this was an English movie, we have never auctioned anything from that English release (with the title "The Last Page"), so we list it under its American title, because it is far better known by that title. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with 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! Finally, note that this pressbook was folded across the center at one time. Because of this, this pressbook can be sent in one of our standard size packages (if it is purchased together with pressbooks that can NOT be folded, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our oversized packages). But if this pressbook is purchased by itself (or solely with other pressbooks that can be folded), then the shipping will be much lower, because it fits in a standard package. Condition: good, NO CUTS. There are many smudges on the front and back covers. There is approximately 3" of clean separation at the bottom of the spine. Learn More about condition grades
