(Learn More) The Whistle at Eaton Falls, the 1951 Robert Siodmak factory labor union melodrama ("The picture that comes right out and says it!"; "You'll say why don't they make more movies like this?"; "The picture that tells the truth about it"; about a small town that has a plastics factory, and a union man is promoted to foreman of the company, but he must face unpleasant decisions, like laying off workers and automating the plant) starring Lloyd Bridges, Dorothy Gish, Carleton Carpenter, Murray Hamilton, James Westerfield, Lenore Lonergan, Anne Francis (in her second real movie role, after she played a bad girl in "So Young So Bad" a year earlier!), and Ernest Borgnine (in his second movie, and in his first movie, he played a Chinese man named Hu Chang!). Note that this movie was extremely early in the careers of both Anne Francis and Ernest Borgnine, so neither received billing on the movie paper! 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: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut and it is folded across the middle. The back cover has an extra horizontal fold, with some faint stains and smudges scattered throughout, and the back cover has also separated from the rest of the pages.
