Seitz cowboy western biography ("The thundering spectacle of America's most fabulous days ...when crimson courage fired one man to lead a band of stout-hearted comrades across a wilderness bristling with savages whom an organized army had failed to quell. The story of an amazing hero in an amazing era becomes a thrill picture that never lets you down!"; "Son of trouble... son of glory winner of the west"; " Ambush! 10000 yelling Shoshones attack the helpless pioneer wagon train"; "Stampede! See hundreds of horses running wild - and only one man to stop them!"; "Dead men ride! Kit Carson outplays the wily red men... his only allies dead men!"; "Dynamite! tons of TNT roaring headlong to destruction a never-to-be-forgotten thrill"; "Original Screen play by George Bruce") starring Jon Hall (in the title role as Kit Carson), Lynn Bari, Dana Andrews (as John C. Fremont), Ward Bond, Harold Huber, C. Henry Gordon, Clayton Moore, and Raymond Hatton (as legendary mountain man Jim Bridger) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was first released in 1940, Dana Andrews was pretty unknown, and was billed third, even though he had a co-starring role. In 1947, after his great success in "The Best Years of Our Lives", this movie was re-released with an image of him above the title and the tagline "Thrill to Dana Andrews' greatest role"! Just four years later, in 1951, the movie was re-released again, and by now Andrews' star had faded enough that they went back to the original poster image highlighting Jon Hall in the title role! 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)! 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 to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut, and it was never folded. It was in a bound volume at one time and there is a series of tiny holes and tiny paper loss down the spine. Otherwise, the pressbook is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
