NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this auction also includes the printed envelope this group of items originally came with. There are four stiff paper mat ads that could be sent to newspapers, together with three pages of information and images about the movie (that look like they might have been removed from a magazine), and a candid picture of Maureen O'Hara, which was taken at a special event for this movie, which was when the governor and a senator from Wyoming named one of the mountains in Grand Teton National Park after this movie, which was about to be released, and all the stars came out for the dedication ceremony, and the Warners publicity department sent stills to media outlets (we previously auctioned candids of the ceremony, and the stars traveling to it, and also one of the theaters that had a special "press premiere" of the movie). However, this auction solely contains the one candid photo, and the other items. Note that this is a special group of items that were sent to Nevart Apikian, who was a movie reviewer for the Syracuse Post Standard. Ms. Apikian was given special treatment by the studios. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
