Note that this movie bears many similarities to the 1939 Greta Garbo movie "Ninotchka", but the great screenwriter Ben Hecht wrote this movie, while Ninotchka was written by Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett!

Important Added Info: NOTE THAT THIS PRESSBOOK WAS PURCHASED AT THE SOTHEBY'S AUCTION OF ITEMS FROM THE ESTATE OF KATHARINE HEPBURN, AND THIS PRESSBOOK PERSONALLY BELONGED TO KATHARINE HEPBURN! 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)! 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. 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.
