Cohen and Jack Harvey"; about an ad executive who has romantic complications in his life, including his clients, one of whom is a female psychiatrist) starring Hedy Lamarr ("Hedy's made for love!"), Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings; "Bob's made for Laughs!"), Anna Sten, Robert Shayne, Mary Treen, Harry Antrim, Norma Varden, and Curt Bois. Note that this is an odd movie, in that it was made by Eagle-Lion Films. Eagle-Lion was a British company that distributed English movies in the U.S. In 1947, they bought PRC, with hopes of elevating the combined studio into a major Hollywood studio, and they hired top name stars (at high salaries) to do so. But they lost a lot of money in 1947, and in 1948, they switched to making smaller movies, and these were far more successful, including T-Men, Raw Deal, and The Noose Hangs High. But they still had their debt from 1947, and they had to declare bankruptcy. They then merged with Film Classics in 1950 to become Eagle-Lion Classics. But then, in 1951, the studio head, Arthur Krim, was offered the top position at United Artists, which he took, and that was the end of Eagle-Lion! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook is in really excellent condition! Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Condition: very good.
