An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11 1/4" x 17" [29 x 43 cm]; 16 pages) (Learn More) Gun Crazy, the 1950 Joseph H. Lewis bad girl crime film noir ("Thrill crazy... Kill crazy..."; "The Flaming Life of Laurie Starr [the lethal blonde]"; "...her violent loves! ...her vicious crimes! ...her wild escapes!"; "Notorious Laurie Starr! ...wanted in a dozen states... hunted by the F.B.I.!"; "She was more than any man could handle!"; "From The Saturday Evening Post Story by MacKinlay Kantor") starring Peggy Cummins, John Dall, Berry Kroeger, Russ Tamblyn, and Don Beddoe. Note that in 1949 Joseph H. Lewis had released this movie as "Deadly Is the Female". In 1950 he re-titled this movie "Gun Crazy" and gave it a full-scale release under that name. There are posters of all sizes and lobby cards for both titles (which is why we list them as two separate titles), and the "Gun Crazy" paper has never been called a "re-release" within the hobby, although technically it is. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is extremely rare. We have never auctioned it before! Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Condition: fair, WITH CUTS. The pressbook was never folded. It has faint staining at the bottom of all the interior pages, but it barely shows on the cover, except in the bottom left blank corner. The staining has not caused the pages to stick together, and it is only in the bottom blank borders of the interior pages. It is also on the bottom of the back cover, and in the top left corner of the back cover, but neither affect the poster images. There is a 3" x 4" newspaper ad cut from an interior page that affects newspaper ads on both sides. Obviously, one would prefer to find this pressbook in better condition, but we have never seen it before, and it is nice that it was never folded, and that the poster images are not affected. But please bear in mind the above defects before bidding on this pressbook. Learn More about condition grades
