Date Sold 8/17/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1962 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Movie Presskit (measures approximately 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; contains 4 supplements, and 20 stills) (Learn More) Home Town Story, the 1951 Arthur Pierson political bureaucratic newspaper journalism melodrama ("It could happen anywhere!"; "The Romantic School Teacher"; "The Beautiful Secretary"; "The Trapped Child"; "The Fighting Editor"; also written by Arthur Pierson; this odd movie was commissioned by General Motors to glorify "big business"!; it shows a liberal newspaper man who is anti-Big Business, until his sister is trapped in a cave-in, and only modern technology is able to save her, which causes the reporter to realize just how great big business is!; MGM distributed this movie as a favor to GM, and it would have been quickly forgotten except that young Marilyn Monroe had a minor supporting role, which meant it could be shown to large audiences) starring Jeffrey Lynn, Donald Crisp, Marjorie Reynolds, Marilyn Monroe, and Alan Hale Jr. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was made, Marilyn Monroe was still pretty much unknown, and she was 4th billed, and given a sexy image on the posters, just because of how sexy she was! When the movie was re-released in 1962, a tagline was added under her image that said "Marilyn Monroe, the 'Asphalt Jungle' girl!", but otherwise, she was not promoted any differently than she had been in 1951. This 1962 re-release presskit has 20 stills, but only one shows Marilyn Monroe (there is also a 1-page supplement which shows 1962 re-release newspaper ads). Also note that we have taken a picture of the cover of the presskit and eight of the stills (less than eight if the presskit has less than eight stills, of course). We have noted if the presskit contains any supplements, but we do not picture them. All of the presskits are sealed and ready to be sent, and we cannot answer any questions about the contents, especially about what any stills we may have not pictured show. REMEMBER TO LOOK AT THE TOP OF THIS AUCTION TO SEE HOW MANY STILLS ARE INCLUDED WITH THIS PRESSKIT, BECAUSE WE NEVER PICTURE MORE THAN EIGHT OF THEM (and we pretty much picked eight stills at random). Condition: very good to fine. The stills are in pretty nice condition. The folder has some minor wear. Many of the presskits we are auctioning this week were carefully stored away for many years, and the stills are in really excellent condition. Sometimes the folder that contains the stills has some minor wear on it, and you should be able to see that in our super-sized image. Learn More about condition grades
