Strange People! See Man's greatest dream come true! See a moon's-eye view of the Earth!") starring Lloyd Bridges, Osa Massen, John Emery, Noah Beery Jr., Hugh O'Brian, and Morris Ankrum. Note that, because of post-production issues (and the fact that this movie was rushed though production in 18 days) this film beat George Pal's Destination Moon to theaters by a few weeks, and became the "screen's first story of man's conquest of space".

Important Added Info: Note that included with this pressbook is a 4-page 8 1/2" x 10 1/2" supplement that has a cool artwork image on the cover, but no writing and a full advertising image on the back. The inside two pages are blank, but there is a sticker attached that reads "Rocketship X-M original artists conception of the launch area of the RXM. The model of the ship and the launch area was almost identical." Also 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: fair to good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut, but there is paper loss on the back cover that affects the upper part of the image of the six-sheet (see our image). It is folded across the middle. One of the interior pages has two tape stains in the top blank border. Learn More about condition grades
