An Original Vintage Theatrical English Movie Pressbook (English pb; measures 10 3/4" x 16 1/2" [27 x 42 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More)

Lady Godiva Rides Again, the 1951 (released in the U.S. in 1953) Frank Launder English beauty pageant melodrama (an expose of the beauty pageant business, about a woman who is desperate to become a star and keeps entering pageants hoping to be discovered; but she keeps sinking lower and lower, finally performing nude in a French cabaret, and she is finally rescued by her Australian boyfriend who convinces her to marry him and settle down) starring Dennis Price, John McCallum, Stanley Holloway, Pauline Stroud (billed as "introducing Pauline Stroud"), Eddie Byrne, and a very low-billed Diana Dors, in one of her earlier roles! Note that an enterprising U.S. distributor bought the rights to this movie after Dors achieved fame for her sexy movies, and re-released the movie in the U.S. as "Bikini Baby", with a huge image of Dors and her name above the title, tricking the public into thinking it was a new Diana Dors movie, when she actually only had a minor role and it was not a new movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie! Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this English 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)! Finally, note that this English 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 to very good, NO CUTS. There are many faint smudges on the cover.
