DeMille Biblical religious sword-and-sandal doomed romance adventure epic ("The staggering story of strength... And seduction... Of the mightiest mortal who ever lived!"; "Based upon the history of Samson & Delilah in the Holy Bible, Judges 13-16; The greatest love story since the beginning of man... and woman!"; "Cecil B. DeMille's Masterpiece") starring Hedy Lamarr (in the title role as Delilah), Victor Mature (in the title role as Samson), George Sanders (as The Saran of Gaza), Angela Lansbury (as Semadar), Henry Wilcoxon, and "a Cast of Thousands" (usually this is a major overstatement, but in the case of this movie, it is surely accurate!) 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. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of any supplements or heralds (if there are any included with this pressbook), but of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are selling (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: very good. Note that the pressbook APPEARS to be uncut. There are pages numbered 1 through 6, and 11 through 16, but we believe the "missing" four pages to be the cool full-color supplement which we found in the center of the pressbook (if anyone knows for sure if this is correct either way, please e-mail us and we will post it here). 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.
