The selfless love of Francis of Assisi! Fond of worldly pleasures, he was like any other young soldier... Until a voice spoke and a miracle happened. Now with a clash of arms and the clang of carillons his wondrous world comes alive. Here is the motion picture that rings with his joy and gladness... With human hope and human faith."; "Screenplay by Eugene Vale, James Forsyth and Jack Thomas"; a biography of the famous Saint) starring Bradford Dillman (in the title role as Francis of Assisi), Dolores Hart, Stuart Whitman, Pedro Armendariz ("as The Sultan"), and Cecil Kellaway. Note that in this movie, Dolores Hart played a worldly woman who meets the famous religious figure, and is so taken by him that she becomes a nun, and one wonders if that didn't play a major role in her conversion two years later! 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: very good, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
