An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18"; 10 pages) (Learn More)

the 1957 double bill release ("The BIG HEAT and the BONGO BEAT! 2 super-charged, rhythm-wild, jet-fueled, high-voltage hits!") of Hot Rod Rumble, the 1957 Leslie H. Martinson bad girl teen rebellion automobile car racing sports melodrama ("The Big Wheels... And the slick chicks who fire 'em up!"; "Drag strip shocks! Piston-hard drama! Rock 'N Roll love!"; "Scorching story of the Slick Chicks who Fire Up the Big Wheels!"; "Written by Meyer Dolinsky") starring Leigh Snowden, Richard Hartunian, Wright King, Joey Forman, and Brett Halsey AND Calypso Joe, the 1957 Edward Dein romantic dance musical ("Calypsomania!"; "Red-hot TYPHOON from TRINIDAD... with that BONGO BEAT!"; "The big heat! The bongo beat! From Calypso land!") starring Herb Jeffries (in the title role as Calypso Joe), Angie Dickinson, Edward Kemmer, Laurie Mitchell, and "World's Greatest Calypso Stars!" Lord Flea And His Calypsonians, Terry Gilkyson And The Easy Riders, Herb Jeffries' Calypsomaniacs, Duke of Iron, Lady T, and The Lester Horton Dancers. Note that Herb Jeffries was a black African American actor who starred in four well-remembered all-black cast cowboy movies in the 1930s, but then largely retired from movies, playing himself in this movie. Note that his billing is many times larger than that of his co-star, a very young Angie Dickinson, who was billed as "Flight Attendant"!

Important Added Info: 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. Also 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)!

Condition: good to very good, WITH CUTS. There is a cut on one of the interior pages as well as some tears around the edges of the pressbook.
